Can We Win Harman's Seat?
Pundit Press ^ | 2/8/2011 | Thomas Ferdousi

Now that we know Congresswoman Jane Harman is planning to resign from her seat in Congress for a position at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars - is there any chance that we could flip her seat into Republican hands?

The likely Republican candidate, Mattie Fein, received only 66,000 votes when she lost badly to Harman just three months ago. And considering Harman has won all five of her campaigns in the 36th congressional district averaging 63% of the vote, Fein would have to not only turnout 100% of her supporters from 2010, but to convince Hawkish Democrats who have supported Harman for 5 terms to support her as well.

California is a lost cause. The demographic-illegal alien time bomb has already gone off there, majority hispanic and they vote rat.

No. It would be a waste of money to even try.

This is her district from her web page:

With over 20 miles of coastline, California's 36th district is one of the most beautiful in the country. From the artists and street performers of Venice to the booming Port of Los Angeles in the San Pedro Bay, the 36th district is a wonderful combination of culture, recreation, and commerce.

I did a little googling around, and find that “Mattie Fein, the wife of prominent conservative lawyer Bruce Fein,” was also endorsed by Bolton.

I was unable to learn anything about her position on moral issues—abortion and marriage in particular.

The 36th is one of the most carefully gerrymandered districts in the U.S. It will go Democrat in the foreseeable future unless its borders are changed. It avoids any areas that might conceivably vote for conservatives. See map:

San Pedro is full of Mexicans and places like Rancho Palos Verdes and Venice are full of rich liberals.

In other words, fat chance.

This IS California we are talking about here, right?

It’s a Marxist paradise, the gangs selling drugs and the voting base on welfare, supporting Dems all while the PV- Barbara Streisand types live in utter luxury with horses, servants, parties, golf courses, country clubs and limousines, just up the hill.

The Nomenklatura and the Peasants, just the way ole Karl wanted it.
