I positively hate the talk about the Senate seat going to Rep. Giffords "by default."

She seems all right as far as Democrats go, but getting shot is not a qualification for a seat in the U.S. Senate. This sort of talk illustrates a real problem in our political system today-- the power of celebrity over ideas (I'm talking to YOU President Obama!).

The worst part is that the talk is actually probably close to the reality.

Then again, in 2012, who wants to be defending Obamacare?

I was wondering why MSM is reporting on her constantly. Could it be its part of their buildup to push her for Senator?
