I initially felt the same outrage when I read the story.
But think about it for a moment. If this woman is not qualified to run for a seat in the United States House of Representatives, who is?
The US House is not comprised of those of royal blood. They are...or, are supposed to be representative of the makeup of their constituency. In this day and age, we have gone far afield from the original intent of populating that body with actual representatives rather than lawyers and other reprobates not worthy of our votes.
yep. either way a liberal democrat is gonna win this seat. might as well be the widow.
You know, you're right. I just get riled when it's assumed the job should be handed to them because their spouse served.
I'm just in a bad mood tonight.I started off the day on a Kerry thread gritting my teeth so long, I had a raging headache most of the day.
