So I was watching Larry King yesterday and this is what one of the "correspondents" said:
HUGHES: Well and so could -- there was another governor named Clinton who came from Arkansas and didn't have a lot of foreign policy experience when he was elected president. And so I'm just saying Larry that I always found when I was working in the White House that bringing a mom's perspective, a sort of practical real-world perspective. One of my favorite stories, I remember being at a meeting where there were all these people in the room discussing the effects of some energy regulations on everyday household appliances like washing machines. I looked around at all the assembled experts, I was the only woman in the room, and I remember thinking you know I'm the only person that ever uses a washing machine. Sometimes that kind of practical experience is valuable in Washington.
Now granted this is probably true, but of course the first thing I did was think of all you guys. Thought you might like to see this as it's pretty personal to us.
