You read that right. Debbie Cook just may have a winnable race on her hands. She's not just fighting this for her constituents either, Dana Rohrabacher is one of the worst Republican Congressman to be elected to offices multiple times. It's about time he got kicked out on his crazy ear.
According to GOP sources, internal polling shows the difference between Rohrabacher and Cook, the mayor of Huntington Beach, to be within the margin of error, although Rohrabacher has heavily outspent Cook. Hoffenblum believes Rohrabacher faces "possibly the strongest Democrat to run against him since the current district lines were drawn in 2001."

So now a race that was leaning Republican is in a statistical dead heat. This could be won and we need another Democratic Congresswoman in the OC.
If you are aware of election history here in "The OC", you would know that the last time a Democratic candidate unseated a Republican incumbent was in 1996 when Loretta Sanchez got rid of another of our Crazy Republicans, Bob Dornan. Just the thought of another one of them being ousted by a competent and amazingly talented female politician makes me giddy.
So, what can you do? I am hoping that this huge twist in the race will convince Markos to add Debbie Cook to your Orange to Blue fund raising efforts. Debbie Cook has an amazing ground game and is doing exactly what she needs to do to win this race but she needs help from outside the County if we are going to give her a fighting chance. She needs our help.
Debbie Cook is amazingly well versed in peak oil issues and would be a valuable asset in Congress for the whole Country. But it would also mean no more Dana Rohrabacher. I've written a few diaries about Debbie Cook, and here is one that includes information about Debbie Cook and her community work for the last twenty years and proof on just how Crazy Dana is.
Orange County doesn't have to be Orange anymore if we can get your help! Lets send another amazing Democrat to Congress!
