Sandra Fluke has made it official: she has filed to run for the congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) after 40 years.
The birth control advocate who shook up the 2012 presidential campaign does not live in the 33rd district, but is eligible to run for the seat. She will be facing off against local Democratic stalwart Wendy Greuel, who narrowly missed winning the Los Angeles mayor's race last year, among others.

How winnable for a Conservative candidate is this district?
If it’s going to go Dem, Fluke would actually be preferable. She’s an idiot, and would be the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to ridiculous left wing spundbites. Remember how, at the end of the 2012 campaign she was relegated to doing strip mall appearances that would draw “crowds” of <10?
Tea Party candidate? There is Nathan Mintz, who has run for some things, but has not won. I don’t think he is competitive, except in the South Bay, maybe. We need a conservative celebrity of some sort, I guess. Are there any retired Christian athletes in this area?
Well, you're "wiser now".
Yup. She came here to Reno and most of the “crowd” were news people. What a joke. And soon to be a member of the HOR? Could happen. Truth is stranger than fiction.
California? And where is Fluke from? Not California. Wikipedia states ... Sandra Fluke is a native of Saxton, Pennsylvania, and graduated from Pennsylvania’s Tussey Mountain Junior/Senior High School in 1999.[9] In 2003, Fluke graduated from Cornell University with a major in Feminist, Gender & Sexuality Studies.
Excuse me ... one can major in Feminist, Gender, & Sexuality?! Really?!
Does she know anything about California and the issues that matter to them? Oh, wait ... judging by her major, perhaps she does (no offense meant to California FReepers).
I wonder how many FR people are in this district (besides the three of us). What, if anything, could we accomplish?
ARRggg. You sound like my husband! Jim, is that you?
No words. Every 15-minute of famer must think they can run for office now.
That's a big and powerful city. Would they really send a clown to Congress to represent them, or would LA send someone more credible to represent the vast business interests there?

Guess she figues as long as she’s getting free birth control she might as well do the whole state.
Maybe she’ll get the condoms Barney Frank left there.
From Wikipedia ... In 2011, Fluke was a recipient of the Women Lawyers of Los Angeles' Fran Kandel Public Interest Grant from Georgetown University Law Center,[18] which supported her production of a video on how to take out a restraining order.[20] She also "represented numerous victims of domestic violence and human trafficking"[15] and worked to help child victims of domestic human trafficking in Kenya.[21] She served as president of the Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice student organization,[22] and graduated cum laude in 2012. She passed the California Bar in July 2012 and was admitted to the California Bar on December 11, 2012.
“She served as president of the Georgetown Law Students for Reproductive Justice student organization”
Cheerleader for no consequence sex and abortion on demand.
Indeed.
LOL! Did you re-read what you wrote? Would they elect an idiot for mayor? Uh, yeah. ;>}
Eyewwwwww!
It still amazes me that with all the wealthy that live in LA and NYC, that they vote so stupidly against their own interests.

“Elect me and I’ll screw the whole state”
Think she could win the race lying down?
