2. She's fantastic - thanks for the heads-up!
I love the the way Maxine speaks her mind. She is smart and courageous. Why doesn't she run?

10. Maxine was one of the few congress folks to visit Cindy Sheehan at Camp Casey.
In the 80's she advanced the "conspiracy theory" that the CIA was responsible for the crack cocaine that was flooding South Cental Los Angeles. I'm with her on both accounts.

She's too left for the rest of America.

8. I don't know about that.
She looks like she's acquired some fantastic new veneers. There's something different about her face from the last time I saw her.

She looks fabulous, though.

11. She's a clear thinking, free speaker, that's for sure. Maxine campaigned for Ned Lamont
in Connecticutt during his senate bid.
