{result of this is probably going to be the loss mostly of conservative seats... the very guys who fought against this madness.}
In a bad GOP year, the conservatives are usually the ones who take the hit. In 2006, it will interesting to do a body count of conservatives and RINOs taking the fall. If more conservatvies fall, the National Party will push Rudy Guiliani for President.
It would have been a lot easier if Taylor just retired.
In 2008, Billybob may get his chance at Congress.
NC 11th can easily be held for the Republicans, if Taylor is out of there. See P.S. below.
P.S. info. My primary is over, but because of legal and ethical problems, the incumbent may withdraw/be forced out. He is also losing in the latest poll (5/28) to the Democrat challenger. I seek to be the replacement nominee. For more information see my website. I still need your help.
Congressman Billybob
For anyone interested, the local newspaper, the North County Times, endorsed Bilbray, so that should help:

Had the sample been more like the District, the news for the 16-year incumbent would have been even worse.
The Democrat, Shuler, is running as "a conservative." But when you look at his money and his campaign advisors, they are the usual aggregation of unions and leftwing advisors.

Shuler will grow in name recognition and support as the race goes forward. It will get really nasty at the end, typical for the few races in which Taylor has felt threatened. Shuler is a political lightweight by all measurements, but he is set to win unless Taylor is forced out of the race.

To get back to the subject of this thread: Bilbray/Busby in CA-50 ... Can anyone tell us what sort of grassroots operation each side has? The San Diego County GOP is supposed to have a good volunteer operation. Does it, and is it fully activated in this crucial race?
By the way, I read in today's LA Times that Busby doesn't believe the U.S. should be deciding which countries should and shouldn't have nukes. Presumably, then, she would do nothing about Iran. If you know an undecided or third-party voter, or a disgruntled stay-at-homer, tell them this and add: "Isn't this all you really need to know?"
I will be very, very angry at the RINOs and third-party and stay-at-home pukes if we lose this seat, which could indirectly lose us the House, too.
Time to put up or shut up, patriots.
But consider how obdurate the Senate. "Let's create an amnesty bill because the public's real desire (we know don't we) is that the public 'wants a bill'." This is the non-think of Washington institutionals. They public wants "a bill". The public couldn't possibly have an opinion. That's too hard to fathom. The public will be happy when they have "a bill" because WE, the vaunted and superior public servants in the know, shall proceed to market it in any fashion possible until our poll numbers rise.
Swenetah McWayne & co need to lose at the bawwot box some in order to sober them up. Yet, the good swenatah has done that a lot and there is no effect. Still a vortex of sucking liberalism intent on superiority complex without abatement.
Here is the strategy need of the decade: there are these bozo liberal republicans that screw up everything. They exist as a block in the house of a fairly small number. They are more moveable there than in the senate. But in the senate they are the blob that ingested Brooklyn. If we can figure out how to punish/get rid of/attenuate/truncate/hallucinate/desegregate/mediate/trynotothate/dontok o koko okok . GET RID OF those liberal "power brokers" (as they like to see themselves) then we can finally PASS the conservative agenda that most everybody really wants. But Washingtonianism is a sit-on-your-butt and have-people-come-to-you-is-the-highest-ethic religion. They get that when they are liberal and republican.
What's the solution? Conservative democrats?
Where is the eloquent polemicist when you need her?
