Kirsten Sinema Rock star for a day!


Anyone who has met Kirsten Sinema (I have) knows that she is smart, determined and devoted to her various causes. There are a lot of people that fit the same description, but they often lack effectiveness. I admit that I wondered more than once if this was the case with Rep. Sinema.
I am happy to report that she has eliminated my doubts by doing this. Basically, she found the votes to pin an amendment (giving some rights to unmarried couples) to the anti-gay marriage amendment making its way through the Legislature destined for the Fall ballot. This left the Republicans in the Leg in the untenable position of enshrining rights for these couples or dropping the amendment.

Kudos to Rep. Sinema for finding a way to win with the odds stacked against her. You are the Democrat's Lament Rockstar for a Day, to Hell with that you get two days!
