Does anyone know how Gifford's Seat will be handled just in case she |

cannot return? Please tell me that the Governor does not appoint the person. Please.

8. Sorry, but the GOP won't take a timeout because of this incident, so we don't have the luxury. n/t |

2. That is true. The Governor appoints. How convenient. |

5. No, that's not true. A special election would be held after no more than 90 days. nt |

3. She does not have to step down. |

If she resigns or cannot serve, it is traditional for the governor to name a member of like party. Brewer would be pressured to name a Dem.

4. Yes. A tough question but must be asked. Gov. will appoint a Republican. |

However the congresswoman is under no obligation to resign her office.
