In October the sweet and sassy ladies of Lemondrop put together a now -famous list of the 51 Hottest Politicians in America. Being a site devoted to lady things, Lemondrop's list was all male. It's due time for us to reach across the gender aisle and do our version of a who's-who in politics.

Of course you know, we love the ladies -- especially those who have cast off the shackles of sexism to rise to positions of power in the oppressively patriarchal world of American politics. Powerful women are hot!

So click through and check out some of our nation's most lovely legislators, mayors and alderladies from each state and one from D.C. Did we miss anyone? Do you demand a recount? Let us know in the comments.

The 51 Hottest Female Politicians

    Alabama - Martha Roby
    Montgomery City Council (R)
    Was this picture taken last week or when Martha was in high school? We're not sure. She's perpetually 18!

    Alaska - Sarah Palin
    Governor (R)
    Governor, vice-presidential candidate, likely 2012 presidential candidate, hockey grandma, maverick and Sarah Palin manages to do it all.

    Phoenix Councilmember (R) Baier used to date Hunter S. Thompson. That's awesome.

    Arkansas - Sarah Lewis
    Fayetteville City Council
    As both a councilwoman and a doctoral candidate at the University of Arkansas, Lewis shares a love of teaching and the natural world. We wouldn't mind learning a bit about her natural world.

    California - Mary Bono Mack
    House of Representatives (R) Sonny Bono's widow will make you forget all about his more famous wife. Hubba hubba!

    Delaware - Melanie George Marshall
    State House of Representatives (D) Mel (we call her Mel) is a Georgetown and Penn-educated lawyer who does volunteer work for victims of domestic violence. Gives us a pro bono.

    Florida - Joy Cooper
    Mayor Hallandale Beach (D)
    Those eyes, those lips, that hair! We wouldn't mind hanging with Mayor Cooper.

    Henry Leutwyler

    Georgia - Alisha Morgan
    State House of Representatives (D)
    At 30, Morgan is the youngest member of the entire Georgia State Assembly. But that hasn't stopped her from being named "2008 Legislator of the Year" by the Georgia Legislative Black Caucus or hanging with LL Cool J at the BET awards. Precociousness is so hot.
