She could have resigned her position over the Iraq War or she could have been asked to be stationed elsewhere in the Middle East. 

we've had this debate before. The gov and purpose you serve is bigger than the particular pols running it at the time. If you are SecDef and you disagree with a war your resignation means something. If you are miles down the food chain it means nothing. Whether she supported the policy mistakes of the Iraq war is certainly fair game, but that arg needs more to support it than that she wanted to serve her country. If your intelligence work is saving the lives of the grunts on the ground you shouldn't keep doing it because they shouldn't be there?

These were two very blue districts so this isn't unexpected. I live in Mai Xiong's district and voted for Xiong. She is a very tenacious campaigner. I would not be surprised if she moved on to higher office. She replaces Lori Stone who became mayor of Warren. Warren went from Jim Fouts to a young liberal woman and elected their first black council member. Now add a young liberal Asian woman as state rep and MI's 3rd largest city is quickly moving left.
