She may be the most influential person in women's politics that most voters have never heard of.

Long before Hillary Clinton ran for president or the world outside of Alaska heard of Sarah Palin, Atlanta native Marie Wilson was finding, training and pushing women to run for public office.

Since 1998, her organization, the White House Project, has had the sole goal of getting more women into political office everywhere, from the smallest of city councils to -- you guessed it -- the White House.

"When you add women, you change everything," Wilson said, parroting the mantra of her New York-based nonprofit, nonpartisan group. She'll be back in Atlanta on Wednesday for a forum on women leadership her group is sponsoring.

Over the past decade, Wilson's group has trained more than 9,000 women on the basics of running for office, mainly at local levels.

Yes! What a forward thinking woman. How strong she must be to actively work to put women into positions of political power. Take a lesson Nancy Pelosi. With all your power, you consistently work against women who are seeking office. Could it be that your ego is just not strong enough to share the power and the lime light? Or, are you just corrupt to the core? Maybe both.

Thank heaven for the strong, smart women who want to see other women advance in the world of politics. HMG - from your key board to God's ear - about Hill being POTUS. lol.
