I wonder if Gabrielle Giffords would do it if she's recovered enough down the road. She'd certainly be unstoppable now.
Democrats always try to pull sentimental stunts like that (widows, disabled people, victims of violence), so yeah she will be recruited as long as she has a pulse. And voters are often dumb enough to base their vote on pathos, but "unstoppable" is stretching it.
It's more than stretching it. It's pretty much pure fiction. Giffords has a leftist voting record.
I agree that Giffords has been a solid vote for the Dems. It's kind of like Casey in PA in that way. Their rhetoric differs from how they vote sometimes, and makes them be seen as moderates.
Nifty tool for a politician to have.
