First big test for national Republicans

The race to replaced the now jailed former Congressman Duke Cunningham (R-CA) is tomorrow. The fact that this district is even in play for the Democrats shows how much trouble the Republicans could have in November this year. Bush won this seat in 2004 by double digits and now the National Republican Party is being forced to spend millions to save the seat. They are outspending the Democrat but still haven't locked up the race. If the Democrat even comes close tomorrow, Republicans should be very nervous. You can find more here.

UPDATE: The Republicans did hold onto the seat. It was hoping for a little too much perhaps that we could pick up a seat where the Republicans hold a 14-point Republican voter registration lead, but a girl can dream.
