Got a tip that sometime in the very near future, Francine Busby will be announcing her endorsement of Nick Leibham for the Democratic nomination in the 50th district. The field has been slowly clearing for a while now, with Michael Wray opting against a run and John Lee Evans running for School Board. Steve Schechter has also filed FEC paperwork to run in the district, but this endorsement would line up the one major recognizable Democratic face in the district behind Leibham. Putting to rest any remaining speculation that she might run again, much of the drama is likely over in the primary, leaving now more than a year of Bilbray-hunting. The district has a Partisan Voter Index of R+5, but Charlie Cook considers the district competitive more than 13 months out, rating it yesterday as Likely Republican in his new Competitive House Race Chart.

This is great news! I had to opportunity to talk with Nick on several occasions and I think he stands a very good chance at beating Bilbray.
Whatever!!! Busby was trounced by Bilbray and he'll eat this guy for breakfast. Securing our borders is the linchpin for keeping America safe. But the Liberal/Gay/Appeasement Party just wants to sell out America and debase her for our enemies! I'm sure Queen Hilary would look great in a burka!
Incidentally, it's Bilbray threatening to cut San Diego's Homeland Security funding in half. That would presumably not make America or San Diego safer.
Nick has some serious money behind him too!
