Bilbray Wins

Brian Bilbray beat Francine Busby by 4.5%. If Busby had not told an audience that "You don't need papers for voting," it would have been a closer race and would really tell us something about November's mid-term elections. As it is a Republican won a Republican seat by a comfortable margin. The Democrats are sure to be concerned if there really is an anti-GOP groundswell. Republicans better not become complacent and think the fall elections won't be as tough as the conventional wisdom thinks.

Matthew Hoy has more.

Patrick Hynes writes, "The Bilbray win pretty much takes the issue of corruption off the table (though I think some Republicans might use it against Democrats in October)." [via Wizbang Politics]

Then Kevin Binversie lets us know Kos finally backed a winner. He's still 1-19.
