CA-46: Rohrabacher In Danger

Ladies and gentleman we have another Congressional District now breaking wide open. Accordig to Capitol Weekly, Republicans are sounding alarms that Dana Rohrabacher is in the fight of his life against our own Debbie Cook.

RandySF :: CA-46: Rohrabacher In Danger

The third contest is in the 46th Congressional District in Orange County, where incumbent Republican Dana Rohrabacher faces Huntington Beach Mayor Debbie Cook.
According to GOP sources, internal polling shows the difference between Rohrabacher and Cook, the mayor of Huntington Beach, to be within the margin of error, although Rohrabacher has heavily outspent Cook. Hoffenblum believes Rohrabacher faces "possibly the strongest Democrat to run against him since the current district lines were drawn in 2001."

I am not aware of any DCCC efforts to help her out and don't expect the California Democratic Party to get off its ass anytime soon. Debbie Cook is our girl. She is a progressive mayor of Huntington Beach and an environmental attorney (on our side) by trade. I don't need to remind of what Rohrabacher is. I know we are all nearly tapped out, I dread adding up all the money I gave for this cycle. But she is so close to knocking him off, so close. And wouldn't it be the sweetest cherry on top to see him go? If you want to know a little more about her, go to her web site and, if you can drop just $5, $10, $25, please do so. It IS an expensive district, but every door hanger and every piece of literature counts. Just imagine how it would feel on November 5 to see Dana gone.

all true

It is a very expensive district, but it costs just 38 dollars to run ONE commercial. So if you donate 38 dollars you will literally be putting a commercial on the air. Its not that much, and it can make the difference in this very, VERY important race. Lets make California the next New York!

Rohrbacher District

I agree that Rohrbacher is in trouble, but the Capitol Weekly included two incumbents who I agree are safe: McNerney and Bono. Also, it left out Lungren, who is very much vulnerable. His district has the smallest separation between Democrats and Republicans, along with a relatively high foreclosure rate.

The Hunter Jr. race will be a difficult uphill climb for Democrats and Bilbray should manage to come through, yet you can expect him to be primaried next time around. Brown received DCCC funding in 2006, yet this will be a difficult task, even with a nut like McClintock. This will be an interesting race to watch.

All said I would point at Lungren, Dreier, and Rohrbacher being the three most vulnerable. Interestingly, they have many years in Washington under their belt.
