POV: You're Scott Brown having a nightmare

Since it's relevant tonight, one of my favorite political documentaries -- '14 Women', about the women in the Senate in 2005/2006 -- is on YouTube.
A big part of the documentary was about Sen. Landrieu's work on hurricane recovery -- this was shortly after Katrina. Here she is giving Lincoln and Cantwell a tour. She wanted to make sure as many members as possible saw the destruction.
"The good news about the women in the Senate is that they get together and cross party lines like we used to here." This was 15+ years ago.
As much as I love who she eventually lost to, have to say this was one of NC's better recent senators
Lol this was just a random tweet I came up with when I saw Shaheen and Warren next to each other
Speaking of better recent senators from their state...
"I remember back at Stanford, the student body was two-thirds male, one-third female. I did a little poll, because I wanted to run for student body president. They would not elect a woman. It became very clear. A frog, yes. A dog, yes. But not a woman."
One last one of the thread -- for @RuralChrisLee, who I know is also a fan of this documentary -- Sen. Snowe gets a few clips, mostly talking about how she got into politics, and the importance of Title IX.
Sen. Lincoln campaigns in Randolph County, AR for the 4th of July in 2004. She'd carry it by 24% while it was only Kerry +3% (though very Trumpy now). @JesseRaySims
One of Sen. Barbara Mikulski's famous lines on women in the Senate: "We bring the voices of American families to the Senate, not just at the macroeconomic level, but at the macaroni and cheese level."
@jhtweets_ tells me he'd have whipped votes for Feinstein if he was around back then
I was talking about it a few days ago, but this type of thing is why Landrieu improved so much in LA-1.
