Democrat Busby Favored in California's 50th Congressional District
This is a very important race for Democrats nationally...
Our first fight to retake Congress is on June 6th. As a lot of you already know, there will be a special election to replace disgraced congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham in California's 50th CD. A win here will send republicans into a frenzied panic; -- Bush won this district 54-44% in 2004, and the republicans enjoy a registration advantage of 45-30%.
A republican poll shows Democrat Francine Busby leading GOPer Brian Bilbray 43-37 among registered voters, and 47-39 among likely voters. More Info available here.
This has very real national consequences. If republicans keep this seat, it could demoralize the democratic base and embolden republicans. If Busby wins, you can safely expect a landslide in November. Right now, it looks like the route is on.
