Armed with a new poll showing her potential in a special election to replace Rep. Christopher Cox (R), former state Assemblywoman Marilyn Brewer (R) arrived in Washington, D.C., Sunday night for three days of meetings with party officials and interest groups.

If Bob Dornan does enter the race, I could see Brewer winning. She was first elected to the state Assembly by defeating two strong pro-life candidates who split the conservative vote. She could easily do so again.
And I'd still vote for Dornan over any RINO like Brewer. That's outrageous anyone of her ilk could be considered a serious candidate in a Conservative district.
"If Bob Dornan does enter the race, I could see Brewer winning."
In California, special elections have different rules than regular elections. All candidates run on a single ballot, rather than in seperate primaries, and the first place finisher of each party becomes the nominee. Then a runoff is held, unless one person wins an outright majority of the vote.
For example, if Marilyn Brewer wins 32%, John Campbell wins 31%, the 'Rat wins 25%, and Bob Dornan wins 21% as the American Independent, then there will be a special election between Brewer (R), Dornan (AI) and the 'Rat.
Such a senario is very feasible.

We have a newbie troll here, AM. Please show them the door. Thanks a bunch.
I've announced my bid to run for California's
48th District U.S. House Representative seat.
As a veteran of the U.S. Navy and Persian Gulf
War while holding a Bachelor of Science degree,
I look forward to the challenge of the campaign.
I'm not here to be an also ran, but instead to win!
