ALL of TV anbd ALL of Hollywood confuses the public with lies, propaganda and brainwashing. TV is s**t all of it.

If hispanics turn on the democrats... expect the democrats to go nuclear on the hispanics.

Remember that the unions don't like the illegals to begin with.

Sad fact!

[Mr Inviso]

There are a couple factors involved in this one.

first: WATER!!!! Costa repeatedly stabbed his own district in the back on the water issue. Ag is pretty much the only real industry in this district. I think even the workers are getting it now. There has been a metric crap-ton of outreach to the Hispanics of the area on the water, including involving “their” politicians in public rallies, etc about the issue. Costa ran into trouble when he tried to address crowds on that.

Second, this is the first time that Costa has had a real opponent with real financing against him. He’s not really that good, and has a lot of skeletons in his past.

Third, this year is just going badly for the Dems, and he’s a supposed “Blue Dog”, or was, and so is not going to be a favorite of either side.

The Central Valley isn't quite the same as the liberal bastions of California, we have a a strong conservative contingency .

The 20th district runs from Bakersfield to Fresno and west along the coastal mountains.


Water is huge issue here and Vidak will fight to get it back from the Delta Smelt.

We went to Taft's Centennial "Oildelrado" celebration this week-end. I was pleased to 'Vidak' signs during the +60 mile trip and none for Costa.

^oops^ correction~

I was pleased to see many ‘Vidak’ signs during the +60 mile trip and none for Costa.

(I was wrestling with some berry pie as was I typing that)

I’m not in Vidak’s district, I’m in the 22nd (K. McCarthy). We did do some local protesting at Costa’s local office though. ;)
