Several people have posted on this race since Khanna, an indian american, was trying to unseat 12-term incumbent Lantos over in the Bay Area. Lantos voted for the Iraq resolution and is known to having gotten lazy in his constituent service.
So some bad oppo has come out on Khanna (including a ridiculous story about a campaign race from college where he spent more than (gasp!) $275), but he himself made a stupid error of including Clinton quotes in a mailing to make it seem like he had been endorsed by him (hmmm...shades of Dean and Carter??) So Clinton got pissed off enough to endorse a candidate in a Democratic primary for the first time.

Hopefully Khanna will learn from this and run again...
