Who do you want to nominate for public office? According to the Women's Campaign Forum, women are as likely as men to get elected, however fewer of them actually run for office. According to them, we need to ask women to run for office.

So who would you ask? You can nominate someone by visiting sheshouldrun.org.

I can guess at why women don't run for office as often. We've been raised in a culture where men are politicians who have good women behind them. We are afraid of what might happen once we are in the spotlight -- will every indiscretion in life be brought to the forefront? Will our competitors try to ruin us? Who will look after our kids while we're fighting for legislation in congress or parliament?

The brilliant folks at Jezebel put together the animation you'll see in this post. They got their hands on the original photo used in this photoshoot and the cover that's on newsstands. See the difference?

Do you ever look at magazine covers and believe what you see?
