Maybe Roach bought a zillion on the ground workers for today but I doubt. Today's vote was light, as per usual for this kind of election. The Pubbie prospects are enhanced by Bilbray in this RINO tinged district (I know, everyone thinks otherwise but they are wrong and I am not), but the downside is that Bilbray is shop worn, and a lobbyist, and not the sharpest knife in the drawer. So I don't know which would be better in the general, and have never seen either on the tube to see whether one or both or neither can chew gum and walk at the same time. Busby I don't think is Henry Clay material for that matter either.
FWIW: In my inland precinct, at 11am, I was the 18th voter. Busby had quite a 'get out the vote' effort going on, with folks out this morning sticking 'there's still time to vote' notices on the front doors of residences in my neighborhood.
I admit I don't know that much about the various contenders, but I don't think you're wrong that Bilbray is the most electable in the general election.
