CA-GOV/CA-10: Garamendi to run for Congress

Wow.

I am not usually the diary posting type but this seemed like big news if it pans out.  Cant say Im totally surprised but Garamendi was my guy and I fully planned on voting for him in the primary knowing he would probably only garner about 10% of the vote.

Personally and politically, I really like him and kind of wished I still lived in CA-10 so I could cast a vote for him.  I met him once.  He is a large, congenial and enagaging man.

It looks almost certain now that AG Brown will take the plunge for Team Blue and easily win the Dem primary.  Either he or Feinstein but I never really thought she would enter.  Some of my more well-connected friends in the CDP seem to agree with that assessment as well.

Also, I dont see much hope for Buchanan or DeSaulnier given this event but in a low-turnout election, who knows?
