Old time Republicans like Pete McCloskey are taking it to the neo conservative part of the party on issues like ethics and the budget. It's good that Republicans are standing up for change as well because the districts are so gerrymandered that Democrats hardly stand a chance. For instance, let's look at California Districts.Richard Pombo of Tracy faces his first primary challenge in years from Paul "Pete" McCloskey, 78, a former maverick Republican congressman who represented the Peninsula in the 1970s.

District 11 wraps itself around and into 4 different counties. District 3 snakes way across the state from the Nevada border. District 1 snakes across into what should probably be district 2 or maybe 3.
I hope we can at least get some real republicans back in the house if democrats can't reclaim it.
