Ted, How can you ignore Issa's cry baby antics?

I'm not ignoring them, just pointing out that the Dems focused a little too hard on demonizing Issa. OK, so he was the only "declared" candidate once the signatures on the petitions were certified, but no one gave him a snowball's chance in hell of actually winning.

So he tried to take advantage of Davis' unpopularity and become governor himself. Big deal. People signed the petitions not because they wanted Issa in, but because they wanted Davis out. That's why it was a mistake to constantly attack Issa, IMO.

Issa thought he could buy himself the governorship and he was wrong but in the process, everything got screwed up and CA is on the hook for a $50 million election when it can't afford squat.

The figure is now up to $70M, according to Davis himself. Of course, it's still chump change compared to the $38B deficit that he himself helped to create. And besides, Issa wasn't the one who "screwed everything up," because even by your admission, CA was already screwed-up.
