Election Results

The election of Brian Bilbrey to take Duke Cunningham's seat in the 50th district of California on Tuesday is being greeted with a sigh of relief by the Republicans and I am only semi-happy. It would be pretty much a doom-like scenario if the democrats had taken this seat which is in a pretty solid Republican district. I would like to see the clowns in Congress get a wake-up call and do such things as pass some meaningful border control measures, some restrictions on earmark inserts into the budget process which waste money, make tax cuts permanent, and confirm some more appeals court judges. I am afraid they will read the California results as an "all clear" sign and go back to their business as usual mode. That could be all it takes to lose the House this fall.
