http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/n/a/2011/07/11/national/a175004D34.DTLDemocrat Janice Hahn is the favorite in a California congressional election Tuesday, but the likelihood of a meager turnout, combined with widespread voter anxiety over the economy, could make for a tight finish.Despite the registration edge for Democrats, tallies of mail-in ballots suggest a potentially close finish. In a little-noticed election on a mid-summer day, turnout will be the key to winning the seat vacated when longtime Democratic Rep. Jane Harman resigned to run a nonpartisan think tank in Washington....
Each campaign has pooled over $1 million for the contest and plowed much of it into sharp-edged advertising: Hahn has sought to link Huey to Sarah Palin and refers to his agenda as "extremist," while Huey has derided Hahn as a career politician with ties to a troubled gang-intervention program....
Hahn, a Los Angeles councilwoman, is counting on a strong push from organized labor. Huey, who owns marketing and advertising companies and has largely bankrolled his campaign with personal funds, has tea-party activists working on his behalf.
If they can get a teabagger elected in L.A., we're doomed. :scared:
Angelenos, you know what do do. Go to your actual polling place and vote the old-fashioned way!
