So Dreier quits or shifts to 8, and Gary Miller shifts to 31?
Miller is going to run in the Redlands-San Bernadino CD (is that CA-31?), and I suspect will be somewhat of an underdog. Drier has not announced what he is going to do, but his fundraising last quarter was anemic. I am not sure he would win a primary in the Victorville-Adelanto based CD if that is CA-08.
Drier should move to Rancho and run in the new 31st, try to say nice things about Hispanics in Spanish media to depress turnout in SBD, and he would have a fighting chance. Miller would lose that district every single time. He seems like a douche. He should maybe move to Apple Valley and run in the desert district.
I thought that too. It makes more sense for Dreier to take the 56% Obama district sitting in (or bordering?) Los Angeles County while Garry Miller carpetbags over to the rural district to snooze for 5 terms.
