IT IS OFFICIAL

Raul Ruiz Defeats Mary Bono Mack

This has been a long time coming.

We have had at least two ex-mayors and other local politicos try to take her down but the overwhelming old Republican establishment was too strong to support the efforts.

The recent change of districts has some effect, they say one percent on registration.

There is also a big shift in the demo. Gay, young. But I think that the real reason is that people are just tired of Bono Mack's hackery.

She has not spent a lot of time in the District especially since she married the other Rep Connie Mack (who lost his bid for FL Senator last night).

It is a good thing.

Ruiz is a smart guy and has the money and energy to make this a good change for our District.

It also means that he will fill one of the Republican seats in the House. Our part in the winnowing.

He is a local guy. An up by the bootstraps story. Wonderful.

I think that he could be a real star.
