Hmmm...

“People don’t know what it’s like to drive around with horrible tires because people don’t have $700 to buy new ones.”

Interesting that Prowell would use this complaint.... IIRC didn't Giffords' family own tire stores in AZ??

Three way race?

So now it's shaping up to be a three way race.

Giffords, Frank and this Prowell guy fixin' to run as a green.

$700 for a set of tires? The dude thinks poor people pay $700 for a set of tires? Heck, I only paid $550 to reshoe my pickup with new tires.

Crap, I can get you 4 'new' tires at any of a half dozen 'llanterias' for about $150.

Hey, give props to the guy for saying what people won't say. She should retire. Sad, but true.

I feel bad for what happened to her...but it will be years, if ever, that she would be able to resume normal duties. Time to retire.

Of course anyone who runs for her seat will be the bad man/woman.

Agreed, so someone who has little time left in a political career, falls on a sword.

They run, win and leave office "due to health or family obligations, etc." What does it matter, they retire, keep their benfits, write a book, conduct a public speaking tour and buy a boat.

In 30 days I'll be a constituent of Rep. Giffords. I will then be taxed without representation. Had she been a Republican, she would have been forced out of office within the week.

On the other hand, my first vote in AZ will be for Roughneck 91!
