Well after all it HAS to be a member of the ruling class.

Of the 260 women have who served in the U.S. House or Senate, 46 were widows who directly succeeded their husbands.So, it's not a precedent setting event; but I still don't like it!

Politicians are not royalty and no ascension by family should be permitted. In fact I am not against having “political” families sit out 10 years after a member has served.

Don’t worry, I’m sure that his widow in not nearly as corrupt as the old man was.

Isn’t there supposed to be a special election for this seat? I thought only the Senate could be filled by appointees.

Can the district support another empty airport ?
To: Colonel_Flagg
It’s the House of Representatives, not the Senate in this case. Special election.
To: RS_Rider
In my district, Tsongas has worked out so WELL for us!
Not.

Rendell already stated that the special election would probably take place along with the primaries, must wait at least 60 days since the seat was vacated, since we’re broke they want to combine special election with primaries.

Make no mistake, these people DO think this way.
They view themselves as “neo-nobility”.

Johnstown will evaporate without Murthas pork. The two daily flight to his personal airport will probably go down as well.

This widow was married in ‘55. If she was about 20 at the time, she is about 75 now.

So she can hold down his seat for another 3 of 4 terms.
No doubt she’s qualified to handle the committee seats he held.

"she is about 75 now"
One of the younger ones in that area.
That entire district in 20 years behind the world.
