I have a feeling that there will be alot of us who walk away from the GOP if this insanity continues.

I hope Campbell explains himself the next time he is on Hugh Hewitt's show.
To: EternalVigilance
LOL! Oh, that is
priceless!"Support my Republican opponent and you will be expelled from the GOP."
That is one messed up dude.

If Jim Gilchrist wants Republican help, why doesn't Jim Gilcrhist simply join the Republican party and tell Campbell to take a flying leap?

Because the Republican Party is not overly concerned with enforcing immigration laws these days.

"despite the fact that those in the GOP concerned with border security and illegal immigration are polling at over 80%." I don't get it. If this is true looks like he'd get enough support from the Republican voters to be a shoo-in. Why not run as a Republican?
To: Freemyland
Hewitt's show is one of the few places Campbell shows up. The only friendly radio host he's got, I guess.
He's been avoiding looking voters in the eye in the district.
Doesn't even show up for ANY of the local community candidate forums.
Stiffs the OC Register, even.
Thinks he's above all that, I guess..and that he can just buy the election.
Thankfully, the voters are going to have something to say about that...

Why not run as a Republican? He couldn't, Jim. You have to switch parties three months before an election, I think it is, by law.

Sad thing is, there's nowhere to go....Ross "I'm Napolean!" Perot has run his course (Thank God) and it's now proven that a third party scenario sucks.

I don't quite understand how the "expel" thing works. You register for a party, and that is it. I don't even think a party can prevent someone for running for office on a party line if they are appropriately registered for the requisite time. It does seem dunderheaded.

Well, I guess that's the end of this punk Campbell's political career.
To: EternalVigilance
Another reason it is dunderheaded, is that it gives your guy free publicity. Campbell needs a new campaign manager.

Can't see what it matters. This is California. Neither of the candidates is going to win.
To: ErnBatavia
That may well be true, but this is a special case.
Gilchrist running and winning as an Independent isn't going to change the makeup of the House one whit in a structural sense. He'll caucus with the Conservative Republicans, and will vote just the way they do on most everything.
But oh, man! The message a Gilchrist victory will send on the immigration issue!
It will lay the premise for the '06 elections, and force a whole lot of unwilling politicians to pay attention.

If a Republican assists a non-Republican, why should that person remain in good standing with the Republican party?
