We have to assume that since this was a Democrat seat, and the Democrats drew up the 'new' district based on the 2000 Census that they incorporated enough of Santa Fe Springs and Cerritos to make the 'voter' demographic 55%+ registered Democrats. We must start with the premise a win for John will be an 'upset'.
I, for one, have always enjoyed a 'winnable' challenge. How to get the 'conservative' message to be understood and to resonate with the majority '21st century American' community of the 56th District will be all important to John's success, IMHO.
