The article is sufficiently new and long. The first hook is interesting and backed up by a citation. The alternative hook, however, is incorrect: the source cited says "With justifiable bitterness she pointed out that with the exception of her husband, only one other man in Wisconson had contributed to her campaign..." This means that two men, including her husband, donated. GorillaWarfare (talk) 04:44, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
- @GorillaWarfare: Oh, my goodness. Thank you for catching that error. I've adjusted ALT1 accordingly. — Maile (talk) 13:43, 19 February 2016 (UTC)
Looks good to go with that change. I like the first hook best, but either seems fine. GorillaWarfare (talk) 04:20, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
