12. I am deeply impressed by Senator

Boxer's courage, especially. The members of the Black Caucus always show bravery.

Senator Boxer has said she regretted her silence in 2000 at the request of Al Gore. I wonder if Gore has regretted asking her to be silent?

"In the much more rancorous aftermath of the 2000 race between then-Texas Gov. Bush and Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites), which was decided in the Supreme Court, no senators stepped up to lodge an objection. Boxer said she had refrained from objecting then at Gore's request, but had since come to regret her silence."
