Please make it stop.
In the South Bay, we've all been burned by rampant speculation that Rep. Jane Harman would be picked for some intelligence post in the new administration, such as CIA Director.

Well, here comes Sen. Susan Collins, the all-of-a-sudden-super-influential moderate from Maine, suggesting Harman for another post:
Collins said in an interview with the editorial board of the Kennebec Journal and Morning Sentinel that she does have someone in mind to replace (New Hampshire Sen. Judd) Gregg. She's assuming it won't be a Republican.
"My top choice on the Democratic side is a Congresswoman from California named Jane Harman," she said. "I've worked very closely with her. I think she would be terrific."Looks like Harman is burnishing her reputation as every Republican's favorite Democrat. At first blush, it seems unlikely she would want to drop her terrorism portfolio to take on international trade.
But who knows.
File it under "speculation."
