I was just alerted that Phil Liberatore has also declared for CA-8. Liberatore is from La Mirada, which is 70 miles from the edge of this district. It might as well be a world away. Liberatore challenged Gary Miller in the CA-42 Republican primary in 2010. He put $735,000 of his own money into the race and even bought spots on conservative radio in the LA market. LA is so expensive and covers so many districts that candidates rarely buy it in the general election. Liberatore came up short, but garnered a lot of votes. If he self-funds, he could spread the votes out further. Or he could take the most votes.
If you're a Republican, you should be nervous.
