California Rep. Jane Harman (D) will resign from Congress, according to two senior Democratic leadership aides, a surprise announcement that will set off a special election in her 36th district.

Anything to do with this: Jane Harman Will Have A Primary Challenge, Or She Will Leave Congress - from '09?

Who wins this seat will be decided by the redistricting commission.

Torrance, El Segundo?

Please!!

Well...I guess compared to Osage Co, Oklahoma....it's wealthy!! Ha!

...at least it’s not located in Virginia.

That’s RINO territory and one more Rep in the GOP corner to keep our majority strong.

[WayneS]

So she has the same voice as Willie from the old TV show ‘ALF’, too?

As chilling as your suggestion sounds, you may be on to something.

[Nonstatist]

I agree that a Republican might win.

You can't be serious. The district went 65 to 35 Obama.

If a Republican wins that seat , then the that means we'll probably have at least 300 republicans in the House. Doubtful.

Does Gary Sinise have a residence in this district? A lot of libs will vote merely for celebrity.

Its Kaliphornia

I heard rumors that she and her husband had some fishy financial “problems”, that were about to come to light.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There is only one reason why Harman would resign, she is being purged for not towing the Obama line, and they have the goods on her to make her go. She resigns, or they publish the dirt on her, and have maybe even threatened her life.

The question is, will we get the truth? Not likely. It would show Obama for the tyrant he truly is.

Who else got the Obama slap down? to tow the liberal fascist line?

Maxine Waters and Charlie Rangel. Their corruption became unacceptable when they refused to tow the Obama lines within their constituencies, notably Obama’s community organizing take over.California is about to become like Cairo in the summer of 2012. So is New York City.

OMG off topic- Nancy Grace is coming to FOX news. Just got an email from friend...I don’t believe it yet..., is this true?????

[SE Mom]

NO- it’s not...keep scrolling down in posts- she’s getting a syndicated show.

[taildragger]

Do I dare ask, (as someone close to the Jewish Community), maybe as a Jew Mrs. Harman, with the Middle East on the verge of coming unglued, can no longer support Obama as he makes moves away from support of Israel and this is more in protest than we know?

[Scythian]

door....ass....

That really made me laugh, you made up LOL type thing ... very funny

I used to work in an institution that kept a lot of people who were not normal locked up [...]

Whoa...at first I thought you were describing my workplace!

[AuH2ORepublican]

Oops, just noticed she’s resigning right away, so it will obviously be a special election under the current district lines. It’s a longshot, but not unwinnable; I’d be a lot more sanguine about our chances if we had done better in CA this past November.
