22. She's 33 and she's done a pretty damn good job so far

Jan 2014

She has testified before congressional hearing, has had her name ripped by the right-wing and spoke amazingly well at the DNC.

Must we wait til she gets her AARP card until we allow her to run for office? I say she's in her prime!

Joe Biden started serving as a US Senator at age 30. Waxman was 36 years old when he first served in the US House.

I think Ms. Fluke is in her prime and should run for office now!
