Oh, and the really sad thing about this is that, lying low WILL probably win the Democrats the house this year, but barely, and it will not win the senate. The DLC-consultant types will call that a victory and use it to re-enforce the bad old way of compaigning. After which, the Republicans will retake the house in '08, while keeping the senate and presidency.
Why don't the Dem strategists go after the Latino vote? In CA 50, 20% are Latino. That might be enough to make a difference. Clearly, they are a networked and powerful group. Its annoying they are not participating in a bigger way.
Don't make the mistake that the population demographics for the 50th District match the demographics of registered voters. They do not match up! Plus, what makes you think that the Busby campaign hasn't done serious outreach to latino Dems and latino voters in general?
