Arizona Democrats ‘furious’ at special-ed teacher considering a run against Giffords

Daily Caller:

Anthony Prowell teaches at Liberty Elementary School in Tucson, Arizona. Until recently, he’s dedicated most of his time to educating special needs students. These days, he’s become a local villain for his candidacy to represent Arizona’s 8th Congressional District.

Prowell tells The Daily Caller that he intends to run for the seat currently held by Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords because “so many people that you talk to now say that there’s nobody representing the average working person.”

Initially looking to run for office as a Democrat, Prowell has been subjected to the ire of local party officials and everyday citizens aghast that he would challenge Giffords, who has only cast one congressional vote since a near-fatal shooting in January.

The few local Democratic Party officials he has spoken with on the phone are “livid” and have “flat out said, ‘we already have a congresswoman and I will not support you in any means whatsoever’” before hanging up, Prowell said.

I am sure Giffords is one super lady, but......Has anyone heard her speak a complete sentence yet? Brain injuries are difficult to completely overcome and I don't believe she has. I only knew one person with a brain injury--from a motorcycle accident--and I surely would not have wanted him representing me in Congress. Nice guy, but just wasn't the same after the injury.

If anyone has heard her, would like to know how she sounded. Sitting here in Delaware, we don't get to hear much about her.

Her next election is going to be interesting.
