she'd come outta the gate swinging like that?

Gotta love "the bench" in MA--we got a deep 'un compared to some!

I suppose we need it, the way our legislators keep getting tapped for other stuff!! She stepped up when Ed Markey took John Kerry's seat!

Why mention photos when one does not bother to present them?

Granted, I understand. The sit-in has been suitably documented here. My favorite pic is that of Tammy Duckworth, with her prosthetics and wheelchair cast aside, sitting on the floor, holding a sign of support. I hope she becomes IL next US Senator.

My best to you.
