She’s gonna lose in the general election. Her district is frowning on her trying to be a Queen maker.

Her so-called Republican opponent has not been seen or heard from. I heard he didn't spend a dime on advertising. It's like he's a candidate in name only. So she's basically unopposed.

Actually, the man she stunningly defeated, Crowley, is running as an "independent" in the General Election, and I'm betting that he will win... and then switch to Dem, and get his position back as the #4 House Dem, and likely successor to Pelosi.

I keep hearing of a write in campaign for the old white guy she beat.

In some races, the GOP nominates a candidate but they don't really campaign because there's no chance of winning. They do this a lot in heavily dem CA districts.

You know, this would make a good plot for a political thriller novel. The setting is in one of those overwhelmingly left wing districts where a the GOP has a nominee but is not really running. Unexpectedly, a very far left radical primaries an established opponent. The GOP non-candidate, against party advice, goes all "well hell, maybe I should try for real..." Make the GOP guy not necessarily a total extremist, but a guy who is serious about some of conservatisms big ideas that rarely get any support in DC (Fair Tax, 10th Amendment guy, or something in that vein).

Mix in some chicanery, political dirty tricks from both sides, and a high stakes national issue / election as the backdrop, and you could probably make a fun novel out of this.

It is truly a shame that I'm good at ideas and completely sh*t at writing.
