The "props" this paper gives to RATowens sounds like some flowery self written wedding vows.
If she was to do that and there is ANY proof, email, audio or otherwise, she just took the local and national GOP sliver of respect and sh*t on it. Unless she decided to retire from politics, there is no party that would take a "traitor" and run it/her for serious office.
The way they said William L. Owens makes me think the paper has a lot to do with it...it looks more like a political endorsement than a piece of news.
