Death Impends 7,361 Posted December 10, 2016 I mostly recall her for winning her seat in the 08 election after Elizabeth Dole ran an ad suggesting Hagan said "there is no God", which, given pretty much any candidate for major public office in the US (especially the south) is religious, predictably backfired on Dole.

CoffinLodger 1,246 Posted December 12, 2016 A list of Lords from The Lord of Lists The following 20 peers are the oldest of those who have been given extended leave of absence from their duties in the Lords. It is possible that such leave is granted for other reasons such as holding a UN or EU political appointed post but considering the youngest of these will be 87 this year I imagine most of them are ill or frail, and remember there are many older people than this still active in the Upper House. Michael Sandberg (b.1927) John (J D) Sainsbury (b.1927) Gwilym prys Prys-Davies (b.1923) Jim Prior (b.1927) Beryl Platt (b.1923) Olive Nicol (b.1923) James Molyneaux (b.1920) Roy Mason (b.1924) George Mackie (b.1919) Betty Lockwood (b.1924) Philip Knights (b.1920) William Griffiths (b.1923) Robert Goff (b.1926) Robert Lindsay (b.1927) Alun Gwynne-Jones (b.1919) Asa Briggs (b.1921) Thomas Bridges (b.1927) Derek Barber (b.1918) Ian Paisley (b.1926) Richard Attenborough (b.1923) There should be an obit for any of these.
