9. she illustrates a problem

Even if she couldn't say a thing, she is a testament to a flaw in the state of our union -- illegitimate elections.

Looking forward to hearing her speak!

12. Wow. This will raise her national profile quite a bit.

13. Excellent choice

Abrams was very impressive during her gubernatorial run--smart, passionate and eloquent. Plus, she's a living reminder of voter suppression and electoral fraud, how GOP machinations result in bogus elections whereby we all lose.

I look forward to her response.
