George Washington was a great man, general, and president. If he died in office, I don't think I would've wanted Martha stepping in and taking over his job.

I just don't get why someone would vote for the spouse of an elected official. Hell, she might be even better than her husband was, but just because they were married shouldn't mean a damned thing.

I'm not completely familiar with her background and qualifications but I know she was a finalist for president of ULM a few months ago. She's not a housewife.

This is actually sort of longstanding tradition, when congressmen suddenly die. It’s a two year term.
