It’s looking like there’s a good (or at least better — Tucson is a pretty Democrat place) chance that Gabrielle Giffords could lose her seat:
But AHCCCS officials concluded Thursday that the health care overhaul’s so-called “maintenance of effort” requirements require Arizona to keep its Medicaid program at current levels in order to keep getting federal dollars.

She’s one of three Arizona Dems who voted for it. It would be nice to not only get rid of her as chair of the subcommittee, so she will stop stacking the deck in hearings, but out of the Congress altogether.

Prettier than Mary Bono Mack? Not sure about that.
Hm. Good point. Also, I’ve seen Michelle Bachman looking good a few times.
I guess, like the plan for Commercial, we have many different options to choose from should one of these Congresswomen be unable to get our payloads to orbit.
