[DBWI] Former First Lady Wins Democratic Presidential Nomination!

Congratulations, Niki Tsongas!

(Now I know someone will say, wait, wasn't there Eleanor Roosevelt? Well, yeah, but she was really an accidental president. Truman only put her on the ticket in 1948 to prevent Henry Wallace from getting enough votes to deliver New York state to Dewey. Eleanor would never have become president if those Puerto Rican nationalist gunmen hadn't been so lucky in 1950... )
 
I really think Niki Tsongas' improbable path from First Lady to Governor of Massachusetts and now so close to the White House is really just remarkable. I thought her failed VP bid at the bottom of Biden's ticket last year would end it but it seems not!
