Again, on Cao ... the runoff general is DEC 2010 (yes?) which would have a low turnout ... and incumbency is still an advantage. 2012: he has a serious serious problem. But re-districting is the wildcard.
No GE runoff. Federal elections in LA now have normal party primaries and normal federal GEs. The jungle primary remains only for state offices.
Cao’s first election was a delayed regular general election caused by Hurricane Gustav occurring in September when the primary was supposed to be.
If the primary will be in September next year that doesn’t give the rats much time to unite.
