1. Is she a democrat or a republican?

[blm]

2. Republican. A very much LOATHED Republican here in NC.

But, this area around Charlotte has been getting bluer. I think she didn't want the battle.

[southernyankeebelle]

6. Was she a teabagger?

[blm]

11. no...she's been around longer than that...a plain old anti-union fascist Republican

.

13. Well I'd say don't let the door hit in the butt on the way out.

[monmouth]

3. Repub, 9th district, NC.....n/t

[Kookaburra]

4. Hallelujah!!!!

She's like fire ants -- damn nigh impossible to get rid of. I could never figure out why the people around here kept voting her into office. Possibly because there was never anyone credible running against her?

Don't really care. Just glad she's leaving.

5. ...and there was much joy amongst liberal tarheels! k and r!

7. You mean Ms. "Voted in on a Term Limit Platform" is finally keeping her pledge?

Halleh-fucking-luja

[bluestateguy]

8. She was in office for too long

The product of a gerrymandered ultra safe GOP district, such that elections were a mere formality for her.

Term limits now!

9. Good riddance!

Though I do wonder if she will use her free time to run for Governor.

[blm]

16. nah...she's 70 and won't take on a statewide fight during a presidential election year

,

[Thrill]

10. Shes in a winnable seat
