Giffords herself said she would recover and return to Congress. I think she and her doctor are better fit to make these decisions than any of us. I don't see anything wrong with floating around the possibility of a Senate run, though.
No, she didn't say that. She said she'd like to focus on recovering and would like to return to Congress.
She and her doctor are absolutely the right people to make the final call on her career. That's why people shouldn't have been promoting her as a Senate candidate months ago when they didn't even know her status. The woman still can't formulate a full sentence and you don't think it's just a bit disturbing to talk up a Senate run?
She said that if she recovers, she will return.
Right. That's different than what you said in your original post.
She can't formulate a full sentence and it's the end of 2011. She cannot possibly recover in enough time to make a properly timed decision to run for the Senate.
...And this is implying that she's going to recover. Not necessarily by next year or the next election, but at some point. Then she can return, or at least consider returning.
I already said only her and her doctor can make the decision. No one is in the right place to say she can or can't decide in time. We are only discussing
possibilities.
