Bell Curve The Law Talking Guy Raised by Republicans U.S. West
Well, he's kind of had it in for me ever since I accidentally ran over his dog. Actually, replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly," and replace "dog" with "son."

Greetings from Southern California!

Greetings from California's beautiful 50th district! It may be dead to Stephen Colbert, but believe me, it exists and is a great place to be. The 50th district is a pretty solid Republican district, but two words might change that this year: Duke Cunningham. The Duke-Stir and his wonderful defense contractor yacht seem to have people re-thinking who they want to vote for in a few weeks. A new poll shows the Democratic candidate, Francine Busby, in the lead over the otherwise Republican field with 39%. But if no one gets 50% of the vote, this is heading to a run-off, which would seem to favor whichever Republican candidate comes out on top.

It's hard to get a feel for this race here. There are ads on TV on all sides, of course, but one can't really say that people are terribly energized about this election. Is that a good thing for Busby or not? We shall soon see -- the election is on April 11th.

Thanks for the report RC (love the picture of the SS Duke-stir)! What can you tell us about the top three Republicans? Is one of them much more conservative, more religious, more libertarian than the others? Which one do you think would be the best opponent from Busby's point of view?

RC: what is Duke-stir supposed to mean? I'm confused.

"Duke-stir" was (and probably still is) Duke Cunningham's nickname. It's also the name of the yacht owned by a defense contractor that Cunningham resided in on visits to D.C. (story here ).

As for Busby's competition, I'm working on a post on that. Not much else to do when it's raining ... (still a beautiful spot)

RC, I've been hearing rumors that one of the Republicans in the 50th district has been posting peaceful pictures of Instabul on his website and claiming they are pictures of a largely peaceful Iraq. Any word on that?
