Why? She is not congressional material. This past 9/11 she spent her 15 minutes at my county GOP 9/11 memorial picnic talking about how we need to remember the animal victims of Hurricane Katrina!
She would make a good RNC chairman though.
Also, people are voting against her because of the Murtha comment. Bob McEwen has actually said he agrees with her message. It is her inability to be an effective legislator that has brought her opposition. Not to mention her track record as a state rep. being a tax-and-spend RINO voting for Gov. Taft's tax increase.
