Bilbray ran against illegal immigration. He ran to the right of the usual congrssional campaign. The fact that some people didn't believe him or threw a fit and voted third party means nothing. Busby ran commercials supporting the McCain senate abomination and encouraging people to vote for the independent candidate. Busby tried to embrace McCain.
If you think Bilbray's win is a victory for "open borders," you are seriously mistaken.
LOL! No one ever claimed it was a victory for open borders.
Me, I want closed borders and I don't want a Mexico, Canada, USA Union like the EU. I'm thrilled Bilbray won and find Tancredo winning the straw poll very interesting, too.
