Zero chance of winning

Don't be so sure of that. You have no idea how fed up Californians are with representatives who DON'T represent them. Gilchrist is a good guy who will put California's interests first.

""Don't be so sure of that. You have no idea how fed up Californians are with representatives who DON'T represent them. Gilchrist is a good guy who will put California's interests first"".

I remember them saying the exact same thing during the historic recall of Gray Davis.

"The recall will fail, as it's being pushed by a small minority of right wing extremist".

Eight months later, Gray Davis was thrown out of the State Capital on his head.

Doesn't take long for the hysterical GOP Uber Alles crowd to scream about the sky falling, eh?

Gilchrist is a good guy who will put California's interests first.

Then let him run as a republican in a regular primary. Spliting the vote in a safe conservative district during a special "winner-take-all" election is more than counter-productive. It's a shameful exercise in self-promotion with the possible result being the elevation of a leftist to congress!
