And how ’bout it for Tammy Duckworth, who fought in Iraq (losing both her legs and badly damaging an arm in the process), and is now a U.S. Congresswoman-elect!

Formerly a helicopter pilot in the Army, she’s now fighting for abortion rights and gun control laws on Capitol Hill. Minnesota may have Bachmann, but Illinois has DUCKWORTH! Her Democratic Convention speech from earlier this year can be found here.
