Nice, hopefully she will do a good job.

fluff if she ran for prez next. I would vote for her! :P

fluff I remember those attack adds they had online about her. fluffing sickened me -_-
"Despite what the Republican Party of Maine might want people to believe, playing "World of Warcraft" does not make a person unfit to hold office."
