Daily Kos Spotlight on San Diego

Someone has tipped off the Daily Kos on a letter from Congressional Candidate Francine Busby to her supporters from '04.

In part, it reads:

A "stealth" Republican is running as a Democratic candidate in the 78th Assembly District. Until November 2006 he was a loyal Republican who contributed thousands of dollars to Brian Bilbray and the powerful Republican Lincoln Club.

Help me stop Republicans from hijacking our Democratic primary.

Check out the posting here.

But lest the "stealth" candidate be caught with his political pants around his ankles (in a room full of conservative Republicans), he has been cleaning up his act by making some recent contributions to Democrats. You can see his entire political contribution record, including the record for any candidate, or your next door neighbor, here.

The Elephant in the Room

In a way, it looks like we have already won!

From today's Union Trib:

SIMI VALLEY – The 10 Republican presidential candidates eagerly embraced the legacy of Ronald Reagan yesterday while barely acknowledging the current occupant of the White House.

In fact, President Bush's name was mentioned only once by one candidate during a 90-minute, nationally televised debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley.

Only mentioning the incumbent Republican ONCE in the entire debate? Even Gore, who ran away from Clinton at his own peril, mentioned the incumbent Democratic president from time to time - and he was impeached!!

Maybe we shouldn't impeach the president... lest he become a martyr for the Republican base!
