Agree with your post on Maria 100%! Did you see how happy her parents were for Arnold? Maria is gracious and now as the First Lady of California time for people to knock off their criticism. She is not responsible for her Uncle!

I've read a lot about the Kennedy family and the Shrivers always struck me as different. The parents seem to have had a solid marriage and from what I have read they tried to keep their kids separated from a lot of the excess stuff that went on with the cousins. Between them I believe the Shrivers founded the Special Olympics and the Peace Corps, not bad. One of the pundits just called the Shrivers "the best Kennedy family" which was an interesting way to put it, LOL. I don't agree with Maria's politics but she seems to have her head together and basically be a good person. She has her kids in church every week (maybe one day the prolife message will sink in?) and put her career on the back burner in order to focus on her family.

To someone who inquired, Maria does occasional reports on DATELINE NBC.

Good catch PhiKap...I was STUNNED at how genuinely excited Mom and Dad Shriver were for Arnold...seeing all those Kennedy's up there celebrating a Republican throwing out a sitting Dem governor in a recall election...

This is truly a realignment in CA politics...it may take a while to sink in...and if the Dem keep up the demonization of Bush as their main platform for 04...it's landslide, baby.
