Okay all that aside, its still a little funny!

SF18C, that is exactly her point. She has basically on the local lecture circuit stating just that. Pregnant at 15-16, basically on her own, turned her life around and became "somebody." She has worked very hard to make a difference. She was Patrick House's coach. Patrick won TV's biggest loser contest. He was also a runner in Boston Marathon a couple of days back. She was named one of CNN's 10 most influential women. She has led the battle on obesity in the third most obese county in the most obese state in the Union. And invested heavily in a town with a flat economy.
Interestingly enough, a large group of fairly well known women, my wife inclusive, are hosting a cocktail party/fundraiser for her. Almost all are bedrock Republicans. There are no Republican candidates. Linda, I am told, has called them her "Miss Melanies" (you have to have seen "Gone With the Wind") So even Linda has to laugh.
