It just occurred to me what Mark Kelly as president would mean for our country: Gabby Giffords as First Lady!!!

15. There was a lot of backroom talk about Gabby being our first female nominee

This was before she was shot, of course. We had rung in the New Year together just 8 days before, with a vague “dinner in DC” promise for 3 weeks out. It took another eleven years before we were able to have dinner again.

If you remember how people reacted after meeting then-Senator Obama in person before he ran, thinking, “he could be the one!” That’s how many people reacted about Gabby before she was shot.

However much Mark may be thinking about this—and I think much of it is media hype—he would NEVER get involved in a presidential run without Gabby’s wholesale and enthusiastic support. If she wants it, there’s a chance if not, we can all file this under ”might have been.” Mark will absolutely not even consider running without Gabby’s full support behind the move.
