    I'm going to miss Barbara. She's one of the few congressional delegates that voted against DOMA. I wonder who would be the frontrunner to replace her...

    That sucks, I really liked her. I doubt they'll find someone as good to replace her

    I give her praise for retiring at a age which most politicians should step down and let someone new take the rings. There is nothing wrong with Barbara or her political views though so it wouldn't matter if she stuck around or not cause she supports our civil rights. There are too many "grandpa" politicians that get elected every six years that are homophobic and need to retire.
