In spite of this hit piece and the sentiment here for Harmon I am not that concerned about this choice since I do not share the regard for Harmon expressed by others. She has never impressed me as being any but another well-tanned Democrat more concerned with being slick than anything else.
Reyes is not your typical Congressman lawyer and has served in Vietnam so his coming form a lower class background is not all bad. His district is not made up of those who think like the Elites.
It's Jane HarMAN. I live in her district; she would have been the far better choice. She is not slick, but knowledgeable. Her sin has been that Democrat colleagues have seen her as too "pro-Bush" or not enough "anti-Bush" for their liking.
It's called D.C. politics, so we get this dangerous dummy Reyes instead.
