Something that people forget - no matter how wonderful the arguments are stated on the Internet, most voters will never read it.

This campaign was lost based upon name recognition, natural tendency to continue voting for the incumbent, and a lack of getting the message out. A similar event happened here - David Dreier was challenged by a wonderful candidate, Sonny Sardo. While there is great dissatisfaction in the district for David Dreier, Sonny Sardo had little chance of unseating him - mostly because there was little of getting Sardo's message to the voters.

Anyone who wants to put any particular spin on any election has to demonstrate that their viewpoint was first put out for the voters to hear and consume, and that they did in fact do this.

Please Drier was being pummeled by John and Ken who have a microphone from a 50,000 watt station in Los Anglees. Then they also did bigtime cheerleading for Jim Gilchrist, both of the John and Ken candidates lost big.

Sometimes you have to face the fact that the issue isn't resonating with voters, and not blame the voters.
