The Issa Endorsement

I'm pretty sure CA-30 isn't the only election out there, but things are happening and the media is reporting on it. As I expected, the Darrell Issa endorsement of Howard Berman is creating quite a stir. I'm surprised that Brad Sherman's consultant didn't try to tie Issa around Berman's neck with a "This guy is doing everything he can to destroy the President, trying to create scandal where there is none. That's who Howard Berman is with now." I think Democrats would include Issa in their five most despised Republican congressmen. What's next? An endorsement from Michelle Bachmann? Howard Berman is clearly leery:
Berman said in an interview after the forum that while he disagrees with Issa on many issues the endorsement showed he is able to work across the political aisle on important matters.
I'd think everyone would know that he's still a Democrat and doesn't support Issa's agenda. Did he need to remind them?

  1. If you look at results from special elections, most members of both parties have shown the inclination to vote across party lines when they saw their own candidate couldn't win. Whether that applies to a higher turnout general election, no one knows. But it sounds like we will find out.
