Yes yes YES! John Dennis has run a great campaign! He deserves to win. And this race has the potential of being the most "educational" race of this year. John gets to run on a true non-intervention platform (since San Fransico leans left), and it will be a high profile race since their's so much angst over Pelosi. Get ready to light up the talk radio waves tomorrow! (Crossing fingers and hoping that lead holds).

I seriously think he can win in the general. People are sick to death of Pelosi and all of her excuses and equivocations for not getting us out of the foreign policy quagmire she ran on eliminating. A good strong anti-war conservative can pick up a surprising number of disaffected Democrats, as Ron Paul showed us all.

It is a primary. Expected this. Do I think Dennis can actually win a general? Probably Not. But it could be interesting to watch. He really does have to run to pick up Dem votes. Promote his social issues. Present the economic issues in such a way as to not turn voters off. He has to run exactly the opposite of Rand. Besides, he still has to get through tonight.

Could you imagine if we could knock off either Pelosi or Price? Both are long shots, but Republicans might start really supporting libertarian leaning republicans in democrat dominated districts. And the chance, ridiculously small as it is, is why I am going to support the man

This is excellent news. From this moment on, John Dennis needs to go absolutely ballistic and attack Pelosi on the following four issues:

1) He is the foremost advocate of liberty, which means:

-- Government should stay out of who you want to marry, even if it is same-sex.
-- Government should stay out of what you decide to put into your body, including marijuana.

2) He is the foremost advocate of peace, which means:

-- Bring home our troops and end the wars that have done nothing for our security and everything for the military industrial complex.

3) Drive Pelosi out for supporting the biggest transfer of wealth from the middle class to Wall Street in the form of the bailouts

4) End corporate lobbyists in Washington that Pelosi has directly benefited from


These four points will stick well with the people of San Francisco. It is where the Liberty movement and the leftist progressives share common ideas.

this is perfect and right on. social issues are key. if he was pro-life i would say he wouldn't have a chance in hell. however, we can really get these dems to cross over. it will take a lot of work and many hours of arguing/persuasion but it can be done.

how come they haven't called the race yet with 99 percent of precincts reporting and john dennis up by a 1k?

That's excellent news, but the bad news is that is an extremely small number of voters in a Congressional district. If John Dennis wants to win, he'll have to almost make himself seem more liberal than Nancy Pelosi (he needs to focus on the issues where he is, gay marriage, the War in Iraq, etc). I think he may have a chance, but a very small chance.

Funny that you should mention that. John's opponent in the primary, Dana Walsh, put ads on the radio every day calling John "left of Nancy Pelosi."

She claimed his views on foreign policy made this true. For example, she attacked him hard for calling military bases overseas unconstitutional.

John doesn't believe in the false left/right paradigm and he plans on destroying it during the general election.

I'm not promising a win - but we are going to shake things up in the next 5 months. It will be exciting and we will be noticed.

This IS the revolution continuing. This campaign literally had its roots in a local Ron Paul meetup group. Now we're taking it to the speaker of the house. Unreal!

Legalization of Marijuana and Ending 75yrs of Marijuana Prohibition by calling out all the lies! would be a great way to get voters from all spectrums and all parties!

Legalization of Marijuana will be a KEY ISSUE if Republicans walk the walk and talk the talk of small government. any republican who opposes ending marijuana prohibition really is brainwashed and a biggovrepublican!! we plan to remove these anti-marijuana republicans in 2010 in Colorado and forever in the future!!

COMMON SENSE LEGALIZE MARIJUANA and end reefer madness pt 2!! this can be a key issue if the republicans really wanted smaller gov but we know that answer. i suspect john dennis will get creamed unless he has balls to jump off the biggovgop bandwagon!!!

This would be bigger than Rand Paul winning. It would be like Luke Skywalker blowing up the death star, well maybe that's too far. But, this would change things in every liberal state in the union. It would completely smash the false paradigm that if you are for gay rights, and against the wars, than you must be for some intrusive nanny state dystopia as well. Perhaps most people just want to be left the hell alone, both in their personal lives and businesses.

Congrats John Dennis!!! Shame on the MSM for not focusing at all on this.

As much as I hate to defend the mainstream media, they never focus on "safe" seats. It's San Francisco. Pelosi is a democrat, the speaker of the House and has millions of dollars on her side.

John Dennis is running as a Republican in San Francisco. It doesn't matter what kind of Republican. Just like in many districts, it doesn't matter how conservative the democrat: because it's still a vote for Nancy Pelosi as speaker. Dennis will be seen as just another vote for John Boehner and a vote against San Francisco having that powerful position.

61,881 people cast a vote for in a the eighth district of California congressional primary yesterday. 52,957 of those votes were for Pelosi, or 86%. Dennis (4,900) got 7.9%...or about the same exact percentage as Pelosi's 2008 GOP challenger got (8%).

I hate to be so negative, I'm glad Dennis won. But it's not a winnable race. Hopefully though Dennis can make Pelosi look like an ass.

Ralph Nader, Matt Gonzales and Cindy Sheehan would all be great endorsements in this district. Of course Dana Walsh's endorsement is needed too.

If Dennis wants a chance to win this (and I am being a realist here), his only shot is a Scott Brown style campaign. That means you must be everything to everyone, campaign 24/7, get a poll showing a shot, rack in national money from individuals, parties and PACs, and really rack in the right endorsements.

BTW, RPFNGA, I would bet Fox News covers Dennis at some point, they are pretty biased to anti-Democrat.

you are right. john can definitely be everything to everyone because he actually is. He already has the right on his side because they will just be thrilled that republican is actively campaigning and has faith in a win. he can woo the dems and indys will social issues and the war and such. the city is filled with 'true' self described socialists so those may be out but im sure we can do some major educating. we must think local local local. the trend is localism.
