In a telephone interview Thursday morning, [KFBK radio host Tom] Sullivan said a number of Republicans are eying Doolittle's seat, he among them.
"Vultures are circling," Sullivan said. "They are all over the place. There are a number of people who would love to run."
Among those frequently mentioned are Assemblyman Ted Gaines and former state Sen. Rico Oller, whom [Dan] Lungren beat in the Republican primary for Ose's seat.
Grass-roots conservatives are railing against House Republican leaders for tapping Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) for the appropriations seat vacated by fellow California Republican Rep. John Doolittle after the FBI raided his home in Northern Virginia.
But I will tell you this -- Jerry Lewis SHOULD NOT be in Congress anymore. This is something that I have said to FR readers before -- and I will say it again. The Republican Party need only look in the mirror if we are unable to 'police ourselves' when it comes to understanding how we could have a majority in both Houses of Congress, and hold the Presidency, and still preside over unprecedented growth in federal government spending.
Is it any wonder the GOP is suffering from an excitement gap?
