Former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-Ariz.) and her husband, retired astronaut Mark Kelly, are both leaving the door open to running for office someday.

CBS News asked the couple in a Friday interview if they harbor political ambitions and would consider running for election.

“Maybe,” said Giffords.

"You never say never," added Kelly. "It's not something I have planned. You know, right circumstances, I might consider it."

Well slap me with the 2nd amendment. How could have guessed that one? Good thing they are strong believers in the 2nd amendment huh. Well as long as there are as many constraints as possible on our rights that is. What a disgrace he is to the USN officer corps. But then, he's not alone.

A message to this obnoxious duo: Retire with your fat government pensions and leave us alone.

If their platform includes stricter gun laws, they may have an uphill battle. Hope so.

I nominate Mark Kelly for Buzz Aldrin’s one-way trip to Mars idea. Can Mark leave tomorrow?

I’m thinking Gabby has very little understanding of how she’s being used a prop by her gun-grabbing, attention-whore husband. He tells her what to say and she parrots it.

Like pimping “gun control”, “running for office” sure beats working for a living.

A while back “Commander” Mark was tagged by the MSM as a budding superstar in the Democrat party. But lately Dems haven’t been doing so well in Senate elections.
