Her loss to Smirky was the true beginning of the descent into the morass of the subversion of the Democratic process ,stripping of our civil rights and an illegal and immoral war. Ann you will be missed.

So true. I was watching David Gregory talk about her and he said the only reason that she lost to Smirky was because she vetoed a concealed carry bill. I can't believe people favored him over her. But I guess people didn't really know him then.
RIP Ann.

There are lots of great pics in the paper today, not sure if they're all on the website, but you can poke around...one of her from 1977, looking gorgeous. Great article too!
