Because she represents a district that is overwhelmingly Democratic. Romney got just 39% of the vote. McDonnell got 45%, even as he won the state by 18 points and Fairfax County by 2.
Democrats redistricted it to be even more Democratic as Janet Howell is a senior member of leadership. It got rid of the red or purplish areas in McLean and Great Falls and took in the East Falls Church area of uber-blue Arlington.
She could be found with a dead hooker and would probably win reelection.
