GOP Holds CA-50

Not a lot of warm fuzzies in the win, but I would have worried a lot if he'd lost,

Republican Brian Bilbray To Replace Cunningham In California House Seat

Mr. Bilbray emerged victorious in the race to fill the House seat once held by imprisoned Randy "Duke" Cunningham after a costly and contentious contest against Ms. Busby, a local school board member who had run against Mr. Cunningham in 2004.

With 90% of precincts reporting, Mr. Bilbray had 56,130 votes, or 50%. Ms. Busby trailed with 51,292 votes, or 45%. "I think that we're going back to Washington," Mr. Bilbray told a cheering crowd of supporters.

Also the great news that Rob Reiner's "tax-on-millionaires-for-universal-preschool" was going down 60-40. There's hope!
