Howard's a quack.

Not that I care (not an Issa fan) but Congressman Issa has endorsed former Congressman Brian Bilbray for the 50th. He would bring some seniority with him back to the House. Brian's always seemed shady to me. He'll be attacked on the right for his "support" of homosexuals which was (probably) a political move since his old district included San Diego's traditionally gay area.

It's very early in the process but I still like State Senator Bill Morrow. Ex-Marine (JAG officer) fought and won against the Carlsbad school district to hold a public forum on the illegal immigration crisis last year.

(I'm in the 50th district.)

The problem with Morrow is that he ran a scurrilous and disgusting campaign to get elected to the California Assembly in my district via late and false and defamatory hit mailers. I will never forgive or forget. But I don't live in the subject congressional district.

Morrow and Issa ran against each other for Congress and Morrow basically came out and said that Issa was working with Hezbollah.

History Lesson

You remember when the great conservative ISSA was in trouble for his trips to the middle east.

Billbray has made a mistake of hiring the two most hated political consultants in the San Diego region. They unsuccessfully ran Steve Francis for Mayor with a 2 million+ budget and came in a bad third in a race for the top two spots.

Billbray has some baggage and it will all come out. Billbray has been lobbying for the Indian Casinos in the area. This is the same thing that Abramoff has been doing. After Billbray lost the first thing that he did was cash in on his former office and contacts.

Issa is a weird guy. I was around him when he was running for Gov and he reminded me of a someone trying to fake liking everyone he met. Issa is really bad at the pressing the flesh part of politics.

Hi Newzjunkey:

Morrow doesn't live in the district. Remember, he ran against Issa for Issa's congressional seat and lost. He's a constituent of the now current Congressman Darrell Issa. I don't think the voters are going to vote for a guy who is shopping around for congressional seats, especially when the current one he's seeking he doesn't even live in.
