San Diego Politics Blog

If you aren’t happy with the Republican choices for the 77th (and it’s surely going to be a Republican who holds this seat) then you can read more about Democrat Chris Larkin at the 77th AD Blog.

Take note that Chris makes me look good when it comes to keeping a blog constantly updated!  Check it out here.

The Swing State Project reports on a SurveyUSA/10News poll which shows Brian Bilbray and Francine Busby all tied with 45% of the vote each.

Swing State notes that Busby does better among Democrats than Bilbray does with Republicans.  But most notably, Busby crushes Bilbray with Independent voters.

Among Dems, Busby is doing a terrific job - she holds them at a rate of 92-3. (Wow!) Meanwhile, Bilbray holds Republicans by 82-12. Of course, there are many more Republicans in this district, so Busby makes up the difference by obliterating Bilbray with indies, 54-19.

So Eric Roach decided not to run in June despite putting out a lot of feelers that suggested he would run.

There are a lot of interesting aspects to the Bilbray-Roach potential matchup that never played out.  Like, why was Bill Hauf paying for polls to encourage Roach to run?

The producer of the Roger Hedgecock show says Roach is toast.  He also takes shots at Howard Kaloogian and Bill Morrow.

So what’s next for Roach?  And will Bilbray ever manage to get the leading conservative candidates to be a bit more excited about him?

Hedgecock’s producer takes the shots at Bilbray’s Republican counterparts.  The question is, has there in recent San Diego political history been such a prominent Republican nominee who faced such unwilling support from other prominent Republicans?

Hauf.  Roach.  Kaloogian.  Morrow.

If Bilbray can’t get these people of his own party to at least "fake" support for Bilbray, then how will Brian Bilbray get a majority of voters to back him?
