Aha!

She was less stupid about homeland security and intelligence matters than most every D in Congress. Hate to say it, but this is a big loss.

She was relatively sane on those matters in a district that votes D anyway.

She and Nancy did not get along. She was passed over for the Chairman position for the Intelligence committee.

"Tea Party folks best get moving on this, no?"

The Tea Party here in the South Bay is pretty wel organized.

Hopefully the RATS wil try and run Harman's 2010 opponent, Marcy Winograd.

She's a "hard leftist" who won't be very well received by the area's right-leaning defense contrators...

Looks like a commie front for payoffs. Take a gander at their 2008 Form 990. One of their biggest expenditures is the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies—$3,216,396, among other Commie pursuits, including their Latin American project. All in all, $12-$19 million flows through their coffers every year. Of course, it makes perfect sense, a commie organization with the name of a commie president.

A GOP pickup in Cali would be awesome, and rare.
