Van Tran launches campaign against Rep. Loretta Sanchez
The Orange County Register ^ | May 6, 2009 | Martin Wisckol

Setting the stage for what is expected to be one of the nation’s hottest Congressional races of 2010, Assemblyman Van Tran announced today that he will challenge seven-term Democratic Rep. Loretta Sanchez.

Tran had been recruited heavily by Washington GOP leaders, who consider central Orange County’s 47th Congressional District one of their best chances for gaining a seat next year.

“Both sides will be pouring resources into this,” Tran said in anticipation of a heavily funded drive.

Democrats have a 12.4 percentage point advantage in the central county district and Sanchez is popular there, winning by 44 percentage points in 2008, 25 percentage points in 2006, and 21 percentage points in 2004. And Barack Obama carried the district last year, but Arnold Schwarzenegger won there in 2006 and George W. Bush won there in 2004.

Sanchez indicated she was ready to take on Tran.

She, no doubt, would have loved serving in Hitler’s Third Reich.

That’s the wrong Sanchez sister. It’s Loretta this topic is about.

“No kidding. Loretta “Dirty” Sanchez enjoys taking on lots of men.”

She does? What your source on that?

He’ll need a crapload of money. Unfortunately, in California, no Republican has beaten a Dem incumbent Congressmember since 1994 (when we won 3: Brian Bilbray, Frank Riggs and George Radanovich).

Yes, I do. He already represents about 60% of the district in the state Assembly. In other words, many of the voters he’s pursuing will be those who have already voted for him in the past.
