Is there anything inherently Republican about Wyman's job as Secretary of State? How is she on voting rights?
This probably isn't the best comparison, but I think she's kind of like a Baker or a Hogan, just as a Secretary of State. She's fine at running elections and Washington has (I'd argue) one of the best elections systems in the country, but it's because the entire rest of the Washington system requires that of her and she knows if she steps out of line even a bit, she'll be out of a job, and not because she's uniquely bipartisan or is uniquely brilliant as a Secretary of State.
