She was a little beacon of strength and lots of energy in her corner of her state.

God Speed.

It’s amazing how well she’s doing. I’ll be sad to see her go, but it looks like she’s taken a great deal of care in making the decision.

What a waste of our best and brightest.

Still hope she can recover fully and retake her seat someday.

I am really torqued off by this.

She is now famous nationally, and can use that to help others.

Her work isn’t done.

I have always liked and admired Congresswoman Giffords. I wish her the speediest recovery possible at this stage, and hope she can, one day, pretty much regain what she’s lost.

I continue to hope she recovers, but it is also unfair to her constituents if she can’t fulfill the duties.

No special election is necessary. The House is 100% up for reelection this year anyway. Typically, house seats stay vacant in such cases. The Senate is different because of the 6-year term.
