Isn’t Rush the only Dem running in this district? I guess it’s at least good to see Dems start to coalesce around him. It’s probably still a long shot for Dems, but IMHO it’s winnable under the right circumstances. And considering the two far right R’s duking it out here (Mansoor & Daigle) and Obama’s likely strong CA win (meaning he’ll win AD 74 again), the right circumstances may now be developing.
