Xenophon
Gone and forgotten
His oldest daughter served in Iraq also.Then you should have realized how stupid it is:Before anyone says it, YES, I got this from MSNBC. However, I found it rather intriguing. Why is it that the GOP picked Bob McDonnell, a guy with 11 days of Governor experience to deliver the rebuttal to the President's SOTU address? And then, within his rebuttal, the only other Republican he mentioned was Scott Brown, who so far has zero days of experience in the senate? Does anyone else find this odd? Are the Republicans trying to put a new face on their party?
"A former lieutenant colonel in the United States Army, McDonnell is a Republican who served in the Virginia House of Delegates from 1992 to 2005 and as Attorney General of Virginia from 2006 to 2009."
In short, he has plenty of experience in politics, unlike a certain community organizer.
Thanks for posting the back story on McDonnell.
I had no idea he had a military background as well as a political one. Explains the air of discipline surrounding him.
(You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Xenophon again.)
