Of course Tom's being a carpetbagger, but CA districts get capetbagged all the time! Vic Fazio held the district that Ose used to represent and Fazio was from some eastern seaboard state like MA, or something! Now they've named the Yolo Causeway west of Sacramento as the Fazio Wildlife Preserve, or some such nonsense!!!
I'd venture to say there's been more carpetbagging in CA, than in the deep south after the Civil War!!!
