Does any one think that the banks, insurance companies and real estate developers who contributed $600,000 to her in the last couple of years did so because she was such a brilliant legislator? Or because she was such a nice little old lady from Brooksville who owns a donut shop?

Or do you think the fact that she serves on Barney Frank's House Financial Services Committee have anything to do with it? Or her position on the Homeland Security committee?

For me, any candidate from either political party, would be a good replacement.
Only because of my belief that three terms in the House of Representatives is enough for anyone - regardless of party affiliation - do I agree that Ms. Brown-Waite should step aside and not look for a 20-year career as an elected representative.

The same holds true in 2012 when Sen. Nelson comes up for re-election. 2 terms (12 years) is more than enough for him as well.
