The Rats are shameless but we knew that. Actually, I am surprised her lead is this low but the state-controlled media haven't started their campaign for her yet.

So when does the election start? How long does a congressman need to be incapable of performing their duties before they can be replaced?

Do we even know her capacity to recover basic brain function yet? I wish her a complete recovery, but I’ve not read yet that it will happen.

Well, she IS a Democrat...
To: fifedom
Isn’t she still missing part of her skull?

As we are fully aware... basic brain function is not a requirement for being a US Senator.

but the state-controlled media haven't started their campaign for her yet. Come check out the AZ state board - the regulars there would beg to differ with your assessment! The coverage of Gabby Giffords in the AZ Rag and AZ Daily Star is absolutely shameless. And if not Gabby, then her husband Mark Kelly will be put up to run for Kyl's vacated Senate seat.

Brain damage only qualifies her to better understand and serve her Democrat constituents.

not gonna happen. They can hide her like “weekend at Bernie's” all they want but eventually she would have to participate in a debate.
This is just typical democrats using the tragedy of this congresswoman to promote their needs and agenda.
To: fifedom
Well son of a @#%#$%^....The Rats already have a guy in office...that has severe physical / mental problems...
Remember islands flipping????
The very fact that someone would even do a poll on this...is just sick.
To: fifedom
I knew the Democrats would start pushing this.
Not to be completely insensitive, but can this woman even talk or comprehend her surroundings yet?
To: fifedom
Leftists love shooting victims. They make fun propaganda material.

To: fifedom
I bet Flake tears her up in the debates.
