CA Election

I saw that the Republican candidate won in the former Duke Cunningham district. I found this to be interesting. I have absolutely no idea what the campaign issues were there, except perhaps illegal immigration.

This would lead me to believe that illegal immigration trumps political corruption as a campaign issue. The "culture of corruption" campaign would seem to have a foot hold there for obvious reasons.

Either that, or the dem candidate was really bad.

From what I saw the Republican candidate won a squeaker in a staunch 2-to-1 Republican district.

The Democratic candidate was a political newcomer, with only local school board experience, and managed to nearly defeat the Republican in a VERY Republican district against a strong Republican candidate.
