We begin today a new series entitled Footnotes in American History. The footnotes come from actual texts which have been lost. Some are from lost texts written hundreds of years in the future and channeled directly to this blog. Today’s footnote is in that category.

Footnote 72
This marked the first time that the Republican Party, as it was known then, had nominated a woman for either the presidency or the vice-presidency. She was widely regarded as unqualified and most scholars agree that General McPain chose her because she was sexy. Science has since established that men lose some cognitive ability in the presence of pretty women and she was reputed to have been pretty. No photographs of her are known to exist and her name is lost to history.
