CA-46: "The act has worn thin"

Esquire Magazine has recently come out with their list of 2006 endorsements. While there are some surprises and some disappointments, in some cases they find just the right words for what we are feeling. Such is the case in their endorsement of Jim Brandt for California's 46th CD:

For kicking back and having a beer, going surfing, or maybe doing the swing shift for the Minutemen down on the border, Rohrabacher's your man. Otherwise, we are sad to say the act has worn thin.

eph89 :: CA-46: "The act has worn thin"
You would think by now people have a good idea of who Rohrabacher is. But apparently that hasn't sunk it, as evidenced by the number of candidates in the OC still proud to claim his endorsement. Rohrabacher has managed to successfully hide during this campaign season. Hopefully that's all about to change.

On Monday, October 23, there will be two debates that give people a chance to see the difference between these candidates:

Cal State Long Beach at 2:30 PM
Golden West College, Huntington Beach at 7PM

CD-46 is in a state where the districts were intentionally gerrymandered to protect incumbents. And the costs for advertising in this media market are huge. So many people just aren't getting enough info on who these candidates are, and why we've got a real alternative to Rohrabacher this year.

I'm going to attend the evening debate and will post a diary afterwards to help get that information out. Locals, what do you think - is anyone going to the earlier one? Perhaps we can team up on the debate coverage that's likely to fly under the MSM radar.

Jim Brandt has a great story to tell to people who are willing to hear it. We have a choice in November: either more of the same support for disastrous policies, or someone who'll put an end to this act that's worn thin.
