Who's the leader of the band in the California 50th?

Voters in eight states are going to the polls today. Only one will result in someone actually being elected. In Southern California, voters are selecting someone to replace the felonious Duke Cunningham.

I have not followed the race closely -- OK you got me, I haven't followed the race at all -- but this is tough sledding for Democrats usually and they're putting up a school board member as candidate? Really? From the school board to the halls of Congress?

Of course she did work for the Walt Disney folks. (Insert your own Mickey Mouse joke here)

She was also the 2004 candidate. The GOP has dumped 3 times the money in what should be a safe district, some where in the $3.2 million range. So no matter what Dems did some major damage over there. That is $3.2 million less to spend against Tim Waltz, or Patty Wetterling here in Minnesota.

Hats off to Dr. Dean's 50 state strategy! Fighting where we shouldn't have a chance is paying off.
