Ann Richards once said of media coverage of women: \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcIf you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re single, you couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t get a man. If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re divorced, you couldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t keep a man.  If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re a widow, you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve killed a man.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122  The same holds true with women candidates.<\/p>\n<p>The White House Project was created to create a climate of acceptance for women running for office.  Our most recent study asked voters to rate incumbent women governors. Voters rate women govs higher than male counterparts on managing a crisis, problem-solving, and getting things done.  Once they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve seen the women in action, they like them.

Women must prove that they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re qualified whereas men are just assumed to be.
