I do enjoy Pete "what is he going to say next" Stark. Fortunately, there's a website devoted to keeping up. We've had Stark's insane berating of former Assembly Majority Floor Leader Alberto Torrico. Stark is congress' only self-proclaimed atheist, but decided to lecture Torrico on what it means to be a Christian. Which he thinks is a load of hogwash.
This led to Don Perata, who was President Pro Tem of the California State Senate to endorse Democratic Eric Swalwell in the 15th Congressional District race.
Even the liberal San Francisco Chronicle has abandoned him. I'm not sure how anyone thinks he'll win. Like Brad Sherman and Howard Berman, Stark is in a district that is 48% Democratic/52% other. Swalwell will get Democratic votes. There are some out there who find Stark an embarrassment and a dinosaur. I can't imagine he excites young progressives. Then the question will be how many Republican and independent votes will Stark get. If Stark gets 70% of Democrats, but only 5% of Republicans, he'll have to get 55% of independents to win. I just don't see it.
