There is something that Freepers need to know. The only reason Brian Bilbray won was because Francine Busby said that people "didn't need papers" to vote. She openly invited illegal aliens to participate and it single-handedly sank her campaign.
Had she not been caught, she would have won the election.
Bilbray still might have won, but it would have been closer. At least he will have somewhat of an advantage in November in being the incumbent. It probably doesn't hurt that he had been a congressman before and has more seniority than any of his opponents.
I think that will be the excuse her campaign uses. What excuse will she use when she loses in November?
I seriously doubt that.
I disagree. I don't actually think it had all that much to do with it. It 'might' have given Bilbray another half-point, but I have no reason to think it won him the election. Busby got roughly the same % that Gore and Kerry got.
