She has committed no crime, and if I thought for one moment that she had a chance in Hell of using the political process to actually DO something besides mount emotional protests, I would be sending her contributions! Of course many people feel her loss and admire her guts...even I do...but she is NOT likely to win, and if she did, she has little comprehension of how to use the system.

Why would I want to see her "flail about"? (I did say 'almost' want.. I really don't want to see ANYONE be lost in a high office)....because it might be an object lesson for those who pretend that "tossing out someone you disagree with" accomplishes much....especially when your target has seniority and expertise.

One person who DID seem to come from nowhere and manage to knock off an established Senator was Jim Webb of Virginia, who defeated George Allen last year....but reading his resumé, it is obvious Webb had a lot more than a single issue protest behind him....and he is doing a good job overall in the Senate.

I have 'almost' the same opinion of Dennis Kucinich ...and of Ralph Nader...who are opinionated, but not necessarily qualified...and can serve best by raising issues at rallies, and not by running the country.

....I want results, not histronics...
