Dreier got a raw deal in redistricting, and it was clear from the get-go that he had nowhere to run for reelection. I wish he would run for the Senate against Feinstein, since he’s conservative enough that he’d be the most conservative Senator from CA in over 50 years but has the type of demeanor that won’t scare off moderates in California. Alas, that’s not gonna happen (he doesn’t have the fire in the belly to run statewide).
He’s not even 60 yet. Drier is a John McCain kind of Conservative. He is completely establishment and tries to sound like he is a cool guy on Dennis Miller and Hugh Hewitt. He and the House Leaders have done nothing since the 2010 elections, yet everyone seems to never mention the impotent GOP House when discussing current electoral woes. Rush said, “Boehner is Obama’s Lifeline” and he was right.
