Cunningham: What Now

Cunningham's resignation necessitates yet another special election in CA and marks the third House vacancy in CA in '05. Per CA law, Gov. Schwarzenegger must issue a proclamation within 14 calendar days of 11/28 calling for a special. The election must take place "on a Tuesday at least 112 days, but not more than

119 days, following the issuance of" the proclamation.

Notable here is that after Cunningham's successor is chosen, 11 of the 53 House members from CA will have been elected to their seats via special election. In other words, over 20% of CA's House delegation came to office in a non-traditional way.

For those keeping score at home, the CA 11 are:

Rep's Matsui (D), Pelosi (D), Lee (D), Farr (D), Capps (D), Watson (D), Millender-McDonald (D), Baca (D), Bono (R), CA-48 (Cox's old seat), and CA-50 (Cunningham). [JONATHAN MARTIN]

I think you missed something in your calculations. Arnie can wait 10 days and then combine the special election with the primary on June 6th.
