| Mon, 17 Apr 2006 16:00:00 EST Will the Democrats win the House? |
| Here is my Creators Syndicate column for this week. It's based on my analysis of the special election last week in the 50th Congressional District of California. Democrats had hoped their single viable candidate, Francine Busby, would get 50 percent of the vote and thus, under California's special election rules, capture the seat of the disgraced Duke Cunningham. Instead, Busby got 44 percent of the vote—the same percentage John Kerry won in the district. Other commentators have argued that this was a big gain for Democrats by comparing the percentage with the 30 percent of the district's voters who are registered Democrats. |
