What we didn’t show you in our post on the change effect on Capitol Hill yesterday, although Bag contributor Karrin Anderson linked to it in the discussion thread, is this larger photo of the 113th Congress.** Although there is a record number of females this year, could the imbalance have contributed to Pelosi’s action?

(** DU has a more constructive spin on the demographics.)
