“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Incongruous

Hugh Hewitt tries to compare the odds on favorite right winger winning a primary in a right leaning district in California to Democrat Paul Hackett's strong showing in a strongly right district in Ohio:
When [John] Campbell sweeps in, will the MSM see in this special election growing support for W and the GWOT?

Uh, Hugh, the situations are entirely different. A Republican winning a formerly Republican seat is not "growing support," it's status quo. If anything, it would show that Republicans want to vote farther to the right Campbell's pro abortion primary opponent. But little else.

And with everything else these days, there seems to be a blog with a focus on California's 48th district primary. Check out the Political Dogfight to keep up to date.
