Rep. Brian Bilbray may be going down finally; at 91% in, he's ahead of Dem challenger by only 9 vote

I've been canvassing for Dem Scott Peters for the past 3 days. We've been telling folks that the race was expected to be razor-thin. Doesn't get much thinner than this!

She thought they'd never be able to get rid of that ass.

Do you have a link so I can follow it?

Now, first, let me say that I'm truly sorry for this lovely young woman with terminal cancer, and also for her parents, but it was such a revolting thing to do.

The ad opens with a young woman's voice in the background with photos of cancer research. The script touts Bilbray as leading the way on bipartisan cancer research. Then the woman's voice says: "I should know. He's my Dad." Then it shows this strikingly gorgeous young woman with beautiful long blonde hair who identifies herself as Brianna Bilbray, and "having terminal cancer." The ad concludes with her assertion that her dad's actions might not save her life, but it will save others.

What kind of disgusting, low-life uses his daughter like that, and also plays the sympathy game late in the campaign?

What did he do for cancer patients before his daughter was diagnosed?

What's the count now?
