I love all of these.

I am especially glad Tammy Duckworth is on the docket. She has another douche bag wing nut as an opponent, Joe Walsh.

Sandra Fluke. I wonder what she will talk about.

NARAL. Planned Parenthood.

They are going to fucking nail the war on women to the Republican's door. I am sure Akin, Ryan, and all the state legislature nonsense should figure prominently.

I don't want to miss a minute of what they have to say.

I especially want to hear Tammy D, Sandra F. and anyone from planned Parenthood.

Oh yes, Bill Clinton!
