Bob Dornan...He's BACK

[ISUGRADIA]

well, to lose again. This time as an American Independent Party candidate (from http://www.politics1.com/ Friday Update):

The return of "B-1 Bob." Bombastic radio talk show host and former Congressman Bob Dornan (R) appears poised to enter the special election contest this fall for the seat being vacated when Congressman Chris Cox (R) leaves office to become the next SEC Chairman.

...

According to the Los Angeles Times, Dornan plans to jump into the race for Cox's seat as the candidate of the ultra-conservative American Independent Party (the state affiliate of the Constitution Party). The CD-48 seat is heavily Republican, but Dornan is looking to take advantage of a quirk in the state's election laws. In the special election, all of the candidates from all parties appear on the same primary ballot and -- if no candidate takes a majority -- the top voter-getters from each party advance to the run-off.

1. Any chance

that Dornan will take enough GOP votes to throw this election to the Democratic candidate?

[ISUGRADIA]

3. This is a very tough district for Dems, but having him in the race

can only be a plus. I think in the end though even the winger will not waste votes on him and he'll be below 5%.

[question everything]

5. But can throw it to the other GOP candidate

Marylin Brewer who is at least pro-choice. The front runner now, state senator John Campbell is not the first choice of the rabid ones, who consider him "moderate" (one has to wonder about their definition of moderate) so many of them could end up voting for Dornan and Brewer will be the winner.

2. I was asking about him the other week

Even if to lose, he'll show up on tv hawking it up. Bomb 'em! Kill 'em! Nuke 'em! It'll be sickening as he ever was.

4. Remember Bob Ewell's Mad Dog?

In "To Kill a Mockingbird"? Atticus has to shoot the dog to save the town from its contagious hydrophobia.

That's Bob Dornan -- a froth-covered mouth on a mutt dog, fleas flying around everywhere, spreading the disease.

Atticus Finch, where are you when we need you?!?

6. The man is a lunatic!!!!! n/t
