Stephanie Tubbs Jones dies.
The Associated Press: US Rep. Tubbs Jones of Ohio dies after hemorrhage
The congresswoman from the district that sits between my home district and the one where my school is died yesterday from a brain hemorrhage. She was a fighter.

Re: Stephanie Tubbs Jones dies.
Yeah it was unclear if and when they were gonna pull the plug yet or not.
I was gonna ask if it was your district or not, but guess not. Its a shame for Hillary as that's another superdelegate gone. |

Re: Stephanie Tubbs Jones dies.
Yeah, for sure. As soon as i heard the car story and that it wasn't a DUI i figured it must have been very bad.
Personally i couldn't stand the woman as she was such a hack (still grumbling about the 04 count in that district to her dying day and didn't even call for Bush when the House had to announce the vote). I think the whole issue was to do with organ donorship and stuff yesterdy but even if they hadn't pulled the plug she would have been irreversably brain dead. |

Re: Stephanie Tubbs Jones dies.
My thoughts are with her family. This must be rough for them.
