John Campbell is very much like Chris Cox, a conservative of very high intelligence.

He is a Certified Public Accountant, something Congress needs a lot more of (given the Federal budget problems). I think he shows great promise.

I have problems with the "conservative" part. He co-authored with Murray(D) the bill for ratepayer subsidized solar roofs that just passed the senate the other day. He's not the kind of conservative that believes in a free market or small government, apparently.

The bill, SB 1, -- co-authored by senators Kevin Murray, D-Los Angeles, and John Campbell, R-Orange County, and endorsed by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger -- would establish the nation's largest, long-term solar power program. It aims to clear the way for a million solar-powered homes and businesses over 20 years, including building half of all new homes with solar power by 2017.

I think I agree with the comment in the original article:

"John Campbell has spent all this time sucking up to [Gov.] Arnold Schwarzenegger, and we know that Arnold Schwarzenegger ain't a real Republican."
