Robert Byrd (D-W.Va.)<br/>&#8220;No, I can already preside over the Senate, and I do not enjoy spending a lot of time at &#8216;undisclosed locations.&#8217; &#8221;</i></div>and<br/><br/><div class='qp pad d'><i>Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-Md.)<br/>&#8220;Absolutely. Absolutely. I think I would be great. First of all, I know how to behave at weddings and funerals. And I know how to be commander in chief. I&#8217;d bring a lot of fun to the job. We would rock the Naval Observatory.&#8221;</i></div>She sounds like a real kick!<br/><br/>These guys knew it was a fun hypothetical and answered in the spirit of it.<br/><br/>Wonder why they didn't ask Edwards (though he said he wouldn't on TV the other day).]]></content><score></score><crdate>5/16/2008 8:32:14 AM</crdate><rssdate></rssdate><atomdate>2008-05-16T08:32:14+01:00</atomdate></comment><comment><id>258556</id><url>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/62006/1/xml_widget.rss#q3</url><title><![CDATA[sholom22 @ 5/16/2008 2:26:36 AM]]></title><content><![CDATA[They Honestly asked Larry Craig?
