Next big election date in 9 days: CA-50 and Texas run-offs

Polls in CA-50 that I've seen on DU are showing that the lead Democrat, Francine Busby, stand a good chance of gaining the winning 50% in the all-party primary. The 3 Repukes in the running have split their vote:

A few races in Texas, including the Democratic nomination for the Senate race, are proceeding to the run-offs on April 11th:

1. I'm glad to see Chris Bell made the nomination

and now the Scott's mommy is running on the independent ticket, it is sure to split the repuke vote and we have a good chance of running this back into dem hands in the fall. That would be very good news.

2. This is a stupid election..They are spending all that money for

SIX MONTHS?? If a seat is vacated, the person who got the next highest vote in the previous election show assume the seat until the next election.. Holding a special election for a congressional seat is a big waste of money and time..
