Given that her district, where I live, is extremely liberal I don’t think scripted events are at all out of the question. And, there will be a whispering campaign about her evil opponent at every turn, highlighting what a sacrifice Gabby has made and so on and so on. Remember, this is the place that turned a memorial service for the shooting victims into a raucous campaign event for Obama, complete with printed slogans on T-shirts. All Giffords needs to do is be able to raise her hand for the votes in the House, when she is told to by her handler. She is the perfect Democrat.
Good points but I believe in the end it will work against the party’s image and foster an image of them as desperate to win at any cost, something we know is true but many are not yet aware of as yet.
I also live in her district, and AZ-8 is NOT extremely liberal. Gabby won 138,280 (48.76%) to 134,124 (47.30%).
There was talk of her running for the Senate to replace Kyl when he retires next year. I wonder if that is still an option.
You must live in the Tucson part of her district.
Where I live in her district (Cochise County), it is conservative.
I’m sorry she was injured, but she needs to go home and learn a new trade commensurate with her abilities.
And her “crossing the aisle” is just so much BS, she was Pelosi’s lap girl and has always been one of those vote-late-to-see-how-it’s-going-so-I-can-vote-no-for-political-cover people, probably because of Cochise County.
All an oponent would have to do is just be on the ballot.
People may feel sorry for her, but most aren’t dumb
enough to actually vote for her in that condition.
