Gregoire, who last week delivered the Democrats' response to President Bush's first weekly address since he was inaugurated, said that during her run for attorney general, she encountered the attitude on the campaign trial that ``that's a man's job.''

``The question always to me was: Can you be tough enough to be attorney general?'' she said.

But in her run for governor last year, Gregoire said, no one ever questioned whether she could do the job because she was a woman.

``In 2004 there was not a uniqueness,'' she said. ``In terms of going out on the campaign trail, gender wasn't an issue.''

WRESTLING: Mat respect

Hutchison is turning heads by beating the boys

Hutchison, a freshman at Skyview, is the only ranked female wrestler in Alaska. She is currently fourth at 103 pounds, though she was third as recently as last week.

She is ranked because she routinely dispels the notion that girls can't compete with boys.

And she does this by routinely beating many of them. At last weekend's Glenn Vandergaw Classic at Dimond, Hutchison lost only once, a heartbreaking overtime decision in the semifinals, and took third at the tournament.

Because of her prowess against boys or girls, Hutchison has quickly established herself as a torchbearer of sorts for girls wrestling.
