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

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.

Really? Hadn't noticed John and Ken doing much during the Sardo campaign, though I'm sure I'll be seeing Fire Dreier signs again this fall.

Pick any twenty people walking down the street in the 22nd, ask them who Sonny Sardo is, and virtually no one will know. Ask the same twenty who David Dreier is, and you'll see this was absolutely not based upon issues but on name recognition.
