Saturday, July 23, 2005Cox hearing set for TuesdayThe Senate Banking committee will grill President Bush's nominee for SEC chairman - California Rep. Chris Cox - early next week, setting the stage for a mid-September primary election in the 48th congressional district:
"If Cox's nomination is approved by the full committee, as is expected, he could be confirmed by the full Senate by the end of the week and sworn in to his new post the first week in August.In regards to that election, assemblywoman Marilyn Brewer is supposedly the front-runner: "Former Newport Beach Assemblywoman Marilyn Brewer's support of abortion rights and stem cell research, combined with her fiscal conservatism, make her the leading candidate to replace Rep. Chris Cox, according to a poll released last week by Public Opinion Strategies."Could that sound any more like a Brewer campaign press-release? Well, that's basically what it is: "The poll, commissioned by Brewer's campaign, asked likely voters in the 48th Congressional District questions about several political issues and a list of possible candidates that included Brewer and state Sen. John Campbell, both Republicans who are seeking the seat; Democrat John Graham, who said he might run, and former Reps. Bob Dornan and Jim Rogan. Dornan has said he's in, and Rogan has said he's out of the race."I don't know what Orange County they're polling in where Marilyn Brewer beats out Jim Rogan. It would be a shame if one of the safest and most important Republican districts in the nation went to a Republican-in-name-only. |
