Don't worry. Gilchrist outpolled all three Dems put together in the primary.

He has single-handedly made the Dems the third party in the 48th District.

A historic feat.

And Campbell is no 'perfectly good conservative alternative'.

He's a phony who ran away from conservatism until he thought he needed to sound like one to run for Congress.

Yeah, but John Kerry go 40.44% in the district in 2004. Unless Gilcrist is taking a good chunk of his votes from the Democrats, there is a clear and present danger that Young could win with 38% or so. Remember, those Kerry voters have nowhere else to go but to Young (especially since Brewer lost in the primary), and they may decide to turn out in the run-off like they did against Jean Schmidt in Ohio (when Paul Hackett nearly won the special election in a district that was like 4% more Republican than the CA-48). So while I hope that you are correct and Young finishes third on Tuesday, I wouldn't want to risk him finishing first, especially when the GOP nominee is a fine conservative.
