CA-11: A Pombo Encore?
GOP Rep. Richard Pombo — who suffered a stunning defeat at the hands of Dem Jerry McNerney — might run again for his old seat in 2008, Roll Call reports (paid subscription required). Pombo lost re-election in a normally solid Republican district largely due to ethics scandals, so McNerney could be vulnerable against a strong GOP challenger next time around. At 45 years old, Pombo might be too young to be satisfied should that candidate be someone other than himself.

Probably a good thing, as Pombo is probably weaker than other possible GOP candidates.

So is mine! Actually, not my checkbook but my Debit Card through Act Blue. Pombo was near the top of my list of scum, who had to be beaten in 2006 and would be again in 2008.
