RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Michael Schiavo, who was at the center of a passionate national end-of-life debate when his brain-damaged wife, Terri, died in March, endorsed Democrat Tim Kaine for governor Wednesday.
"I have seen firsthand what can happen when a governor disagrees with a single citizen. In Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush abused the power of his office in an attempt to replace my personal family decisions with his own opinions and political grandstanding," Schiavo wrote a six-paragraph statement distributed by a Democratic political consulting firm in Miami.
Conservatives vilified Schiavo for ordering the removal of the feeding tube that had sustained his wife for 15 years. In the resulting legal and ideological conflict, Congress, Jeb Bush and his brother, President Bush, all sought to have the tube reinserted.

Michael wants to get involved in the political process?
He should apply to be Geoffry Feiger's campaign manager!

He's the legal Dr. Kevorkian (spelling). For all those who want to LEGALLY murder inconvenient people that can't speak for themselves - this is the candidate for you.
Believe it or not there are people on FR that saw murdering Terri as very acceptable.

I fear what may happen to unsuspecting Virginians when Mr. Kilgore disagrees with their deeply private family decisions to murder their famly members."
There, I corrected that obvious typo.

Sounds like an endorsement no politician would want. Schiavo probably doesn't help get you a single vote, but can help lose you plenty.
