Thanks Deborah, I haven’t had a chance to look at this until now, as I’ve been in multi-day board meeting. This is too bad, I was really looking forward to Sen. Murray asking him about those studies that show that women don’t have the “taste” for science. It took them almost a year to figure out that this guy was obviously not going to be an acceptable nominee. Anyone have any ideas on what their plan B might be?
