OPPOSING IMMIGRANTS ... AND REPUBLICANS. Congressman Tom Tancredo (R-CO) -- a 2008 White House hopeful and the leading Hill advocate of imposing a radical crackdown on immigration into the US -- broke with the GOP in the upcoming California special election for the congressional CD-48 seat recently vacated by SEC Chair Christopher Cox (R). Although ten of the 17 candidates -- including frontrunners State Senator John Campbell and former Assemblywoman Marilyn Brewer -- are Republicans, Tancredo formally endorsed an ideological ally. Tancredo endorsed American Independent Party nominee Jim Gilchrist, the founder of the "Minuteman Project" of citizen border patrols. "I...

(09-30) 10:56 PDT Irvine, Calif. (AP) -- Marilyn Brewer, a leading Republican candidate for the nation's only open House seat, stared into the TV camera and proclaimed her support for the president. She was not talking about George W. Bush. "I stand side by side with Ronald Reagan on less taxes and less government," Brewer told voters at a candidate forum. The former state assemblywoman also praised Nancy Reagan for her devotion to stem cell research, an issue that has bedeviled the Bush White House. And she touts as her prize endorsement Sen. John McCain, the president's sometime rival and...

For 17 years, former Rep. Christopher Cox (R-Newport Beach) represented one of the most Republican districts in Congress, after besting 17 other candidates. Now, 17 more are on the ballot to succeed him. The result is a political free-for-all in coastal Orange County where candidates are struggling to capture the attention of District 48's 400,000 potential voters, including surfers and millionaires in Newport Beach, academics in Irvine and families in San Juan Capistrano. Getting the most attention and campaign money are two well-known Republican politicians from Irvine: state Sen. John Campbell and former Assemblywoman Marilyn Brewer. ... (snip) The election,...

ANAHEIM, CA — Attendees of the state convention of the California GOP were shocked and dismayed to learn that operatives of candidate John Campbell had attempted to move a resolution which threatened with “expulsion from the California Republican Party” any member of the state GOP who “supports, advocates, or assists in any way” the campaign of Congressional candidate “Minuteman” Jim Gilchrist. Paul Paule, who works closely with advisors of the Campbell campaign, introduced a draft resolution to the Rules Committee against Gilchrist which would have effectually made the State Chairman of the California Republican Party a “Grand Inquisitor” of political...

Here's how a Democrat wins the 48th Congressional District, in which just 27 percent of the voters are registered as Democrats: First, he or she beats the other three Democrats in the Oct. 4 special election to replace Christopher Cox, who quit to head the Securities and Exchange Commission. Since it is unlikely any of the 17 candidates will get a majority of the votes, the top candidate from each party will proceed to a Dec. 6 runoff. American Independent candidate Jim Gilchrist, whose Minuteman anti-illegal immigration project has brought him considerable attention, will be battling for many of the...
