Former Democratic congressman Joe Baca has decided on a rematch with fellow Democrat Gloria Negrete McLeod for the CA-35 congressional seat.
I'm not surprised he's running again. I'm surprised he's not running in CA-31. He lives there and the district is prime for a Democrat to win. You'd think DCCC chairman Steve Israel would push him that way. Of course, Baca formed an alliance with Republican congressman Gary Miller in 2012, getting his help with Republicans in CA-35 for Baca's help with Democrats in CA-31. I have no idea if that comes into play.
I'm curious about his strategy. CA-35 went 31% Romney and 33% Whitman. It's likely a Republican will run next time. It'll be interesting to see what strategy each uses for the primary. There are a lot of examples to follow. Will they target Republicans in the primary?
