He's (maybe) BAAAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKK:
Now, the 48-year-old Republican is thinking about a return to Congress - in George Radanovich's 19th Congressional District.
"I started getting phone calls last night," Pombo said today. "Obviously, I haven't made my mind up on it at all, but it is something that I am considering." (Fresno Bee)
Now, don't expect Jeff Denham to simply stand aside for Pombo, and Rep. Radanovich likely won't change his endorsement. After all, Pombo does have some strikes against him. He's a bit of a carpetbagger in this seat, and oh yeah, there are the ethics issues still clouding his record. I'm not sure that voters are really looking to find somebody who has a history with Abramoff.
That being said, Pombo's crazy record, and possible renewal of seniority within the Republican caucus, could be a draw to Republican voters. Don't count him out yet. Maybe SayNoToPombo needs to make a comeback. |
