NY Post Chooses Herseth for Prez

New York Post, Sunday, September 25, 2005, page 29.

HEADLINE: "Mrs. President:  Five who could be the Very First Lady."   Picture of Geena Davis who is playing the first woman president in a TV series, and then pictures and bios of Stephanie Herseth, Kathleen Sebelius, Hillary Clinton, Condoleeza Rice, and Mary Landrieu.

"Quick take:  Young, single, and attractive, Herseth doesn't look good just by comparison to the old, cantankerous men in Congress--the comely brunette would turn heads in any swank SoHo nightclub."

"Pros:  Herseht is one of the few House Democrats with any star power, earning it in a special election in South Dakota, and then cruising to re-election.  She comes from a political family: Her grandfather served as governor."

"Cons:  The House is a bad platform for seeking the presidency.  Unless Democrats gain control of Congress, Herseth won't have any power to push a positive agenda, and will have to buck her own party to get attention."
