Ohio Yet Again Loses It's Best - Oooh La La
...And should I say the Dems lose their best too?
The PeeDee profiles Senator Sherrod Brown's ascension to the Hill's "50 Most Beautiful People" list today. However, IMHO that's a snoozer. The bottom 40 aren't ranked (where Senator Brown lands) and the competition just to make the list ain't too hard when you're competing against this guy:
(no offense, Congressman).
The real find is Ohio's pride and joy, coming in at #9. Meet Rebeccah Ramey, from Fredricktown, Ohio. I can find some bipartisanship on this one.
O-H !

Name: Rebeccah RameyI think I'm changing parties.
Age: 24
Hometown: Fredericktown, Ohio
Political party: Republican.
Dating Status: “Not single.”
If she were wearing only a gray suit and pearls, Rebeccah Ramey would blend into a sea of professional young men and women who flock to Capitol Hill after college.
But donning bright red shoes and carrying a bright red tote bag, Ramey stands out in a way that is both flashy and conservative. Fashion writers in Elle would say Ramey looks professional and feminine; GQ would say she looks, well, hot.
Ramey drove to Washington two years ago in an aging Oldsmobile (which now has 115,000 miles on it and is running just fine, thank you) with no job and no place to stay.
After an internship at the Heritage Foundation and a job on the House Judiciary Committee, Rep. Trent Franks (R-Ariz.) hired her to work on defense issues. One gets the impression she could talk for hours about the benefits of missile defense. In fact, one quickly realizes there’s an inner nerd.
If she were not in politics, Ramey said, she would be studying political philosophy. So gentlemen, study your Plato and Aristotle.

What a shame. I hate to see beauty wasted on Republicans. :)
