This one breaks my heart. I had always hoped that either her or Shirley Chisholm would be the first woman elected President. I have met Ann Richards on a number of occasions during campaigns I have run. She was one of those people that walk into a room and the air pressure changes. She was one of the great leaders, a no nonsense, call 'em like she saw 'em person. The world was a much more interesting place with her in it.

God be good to her,
