Yup. As I said, all along, it was the wrong CD to wage the anti illegal jihad. Maybe Gilchrist should move on the the Cunningham district, and try there. It would be more fertile ground for him, and he would have a better chance of installing a Dem. Just a thought.
Oh, come on. You know better than to invoke 'installing a Dem'.
Young has no chance of winning in the 48th, and you know it.
I'll give you credit for consistency in your theorizing about JG's motives, but it just doesn't hold any water.
In the primary, Gilchrist singlehandedly made the Dems the third party.
Historic.
No reason to believe it is going to be any different on Tuesday.
We don't need Gilchrist who appeared with Morrow at anti-illegals forums.
Most Freepers in that 50th district (self included) are looking closely at Kaloogian and Morrow. What Bilbray brings to the table is seniority. Even though he represented a different district, were he to succeed Cunningham, he'd bring his seniority with him to the House.
There are some things folks should know about Bilbray's record:
Voted NO on banning gay adoptions in DC. (Jul 1999)
Voted YES on funding for alternative sentencing instead of more prisons. (Jun 2000)
Voted YES on prohibiting needle exchange & medical marijuana in DC. (Oct 1999)
Voted YES on starting implementation of Kyoto Protocol. (Jun 2000)
Voted NO on decreasing gun waiting period from 3 days to 1. (Jun 1999)
Voted YES on Prescription Drug Coverage under Medicare. (Jun 2000)
Voted YES on more immigrant visas for skilled workers. (Sep 1998)
In fairness, his very competitive congressional district then included the homosexual quarter of San Diego. Redistricting increased the Dem majority in what is now the 53rd leading to his narrow defeat in 2000.
