The hell McCain and Lindsey drama queen put her though I don't blame her but instead of you getting mad at them, you get mad at the President who just accepted her resignation. Sorry but I don't see this as capitulation.

(11,936 posts)7. John Kerry is the most qualified candidate anyway. Thats who it should be and should've been.
And don't give me this shit about Scott Brown taking his seat. If we can't hold a Senate seat in deep blue Massa-fucking-chusettes, we don't deserve it. We ran a shitty candidate against Brown the first time and we deserved to lose it then. We hopefully have learned better by now.

I think her conflict of interest regarding the Tar Sands pipeline was enough to make her ineligible.
