I doubt it. This is a very liberal district. If there is ever a chance though, it’s in a special election. Keeping it in single digits wouldn’t be too bad but I’m not all about “moral” victories. But single digits may be a sign of attitude at least.

Almost 67,000 voted Republican in the district back in November 2010, more than enough to have put Huey over the top but they just didn't show up despite a month to cast their ballots.

If there's a positive take away, the margin was only 9% which seems low given the registration advantage, name recognition, financial backing, union support, family dynasty, voting patterns and other factors all in Hahn's favor.

Good for Craig Huey but a moral victory won't cast House votes.

The district has gone Dem 3 to 1, or better, in recent cycles.
