It's fascinating to read the comments below this article. People seem to think that her congressional seat should forevermore be a shrine to Giffords and by virtue of her shooting, she has a perpetual right to that seat. That it would be cruel to remove her. Of course, anyone who calls for a recall election is going to be characterized as the latest reincarnation of Hitler, but Scracic makes some good points and he's right to call for her to do the honorable thing and resign.

If it has to be a democrat in office, I prefer one unable to fulfill the duties of the position. Any chances of getting a Republican in if she leaves?

This article is true. One of the unsaid things about Giffords is that although she seems to have been very outgoing and personable, she was an ardent environmentalist and global warming supporter.
It would be a very good thing for Ariz. and the country if she resigned.

I’m not entirely convinced that brain damage would be an impediment to being a Democrat member of the Senate -

Democrats have a history of this with Sheets Byrd and Swimmah Kennedy being the most recent examples. Not that Ms. Giffords is going to die, but her return to duty is extremely doubtful.
I read that she has until May 8, 2012 to file paperwork for reelection.

Good point...It makes me think the dems want to keep her there, because they fear the results of a special election, and the republicans want her there because it’s half as good as winning a special election.
To: Hoodat
I seriously doubt it since it was Republican Sarah Palin that shot her. It was?
I thought it was an unemployed surveyor.

Explain to me how she represents the interests of the people of AZ when she spends most of her time in Houston or DC? I never have figured that out.

Why would you want the front runner for the 2012 primary, the next Reagan, the conservative, to drop out of the 2012 race?

Unless Paul Sracic lives in her district, I think he should leave this matter to the people who do.

The GOP would be morons to push for her to resign.
To: Paul Kib
Is she mentally capable of resigning? How much brain damage has she suffered?
