Even though the numbers do not look good for the president and the Republican congress, last weeks election results in the California 50th is good news for the Republicans and it looks like, despite the constant
shooting themselves in the foot, they should keep congress.
The Democratic nominee could only muster 44%. That was first place but the Republican field was 14. Brian Bilbray won that showdown and will win this seat.
He is a former congressman from the San Diego area and so I think he will get the 55% that makes this a safe Republican win.
Now, I am reading Hugh Hewitt's book, Painting The Map Red and it is offering the advise that will be a winner for Republicans. Here is the way that Hugh puts it and if Bilbray runs on this platform, he may well win more than 55%:
1) Win the war
2) Confirm the judges
3) Cut the taxes
4) Control the spending
It is simple and I think a winning formula.
The bottom line, the Democrats probably should have won this race outright given the supposed high negatives for the GOP. They did not and they should not win in November.
