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


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.

He's not...he just plays one on TV...now that he wants to be a Congressman.

He's made a fine attempt to become Jim Gilchrist on immigration, but it just isn't working. John and Ken finally have his number, as do all the great Orange County border activists.

“These people are clearly members and rooted in our community. They’re going to stay here every bit as much as you or I are going to stay here.” -John Campbell, OC Register

In the Assembly, John Campbell voted to give in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens, AND he voted to allow Mexican-issued ‘Matricula Consular’ cards to be used as identification in California!

“Illegal immigrants should be given the same benefits as everyone else…” - John Campbell, OC Register

A Sample of John Campbell’s Voting Record: (taken from http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/bilinfo.html)

AB 540 (Firebaugh) Provides in-state tuition fees for illegal immigrants.

Passed the Assembly 57-15, 9/14/01 - John Campbell: Aye

ACR 229 (Diaz) Allow illegal aliens to use the sham Matricula Consular (Mexican ID) as legal form of identification.

Passed the Assembly 71-7, 8/30/02 – John Campbell: Aye

AB 60 (Cedillo) Would give illegal immigrants the right to have California driver’s licenses.

Passed the Assembly 52-20, 9/14/01 – John Campbell: Abstain

His phoniness on prolife issues is similiar. He was quoted extensively in the past saying that he would do nothing to stop abortion. Now you'd think he was James Dobson.
