Can you pick me up a box of graham crackers while you're there? I'm too choked up to drive.

I might have teared up a lot watching this. Brilliant response, fabulous campaign. Yummy crackers.

And though he's pro-life, he still supports a woman's decision to make her own medical choices.

THIS is how Republicans should behave. Focus on real issues, stay out of controlling personal lives, stick by your convictions, and serve your constituency. Its a simple formula but very few get it.

I am now convinced that my c-section complications were the result of (a) not scheduling the procedure and (b) my husband being at the hospital with me for the birth and following days instead of his playing Major League Baseball.

Dear Asshole Sports Prick,
