"Rumors about retirements have been swirling for years around Herger, Woolsey, Stark, Gallegly, and Lewis yet each time they file for re-election. Woolsey and Harman have clearly signaled their departures.
Despite these past false reports I think that 2012 is the year we see a large number of retirements. The Commission will be drawing new lines the will not be so nice and comfy for the incumbents.
Right now many people are betting on retirements by Herger, Woolsey, Capps, and Stark. Harman has already announced her intention to resign mid term and Filner is a potential candidate for Mayor of San Diego. That would put the number at five."
