She also had the guts to say about Obama that if he were a white man with such a thin resume, he would not have been the candidate. She was blasted in the media but refused to back down because what she said was true!
Disagreed with her on many issues but she did appear to be willing to discuss facts and truth - a characteristic sadly lacking in too many of today’s Democrats!
One other thing about her I actually respected was that after the race she quietly left the scene. She didn’t stick around and make the usual snotty liberal appearances and blame everyone for their loss. She had been on many discussion shows but stated things respectfully and with dignity. She was a liberal, no doubt, but she never appeared to be nasty like a usual liberal.
