Anyone out there in California's 22nd Congressional District?

Everything I can find on the Google Machine says that Nunes has one of the safest seats in Congress. Does that seem accurate on the ground? If so, how can that be possible?

I'm not being critical of the folks that live there. I live in Arkansas' 4th. My Representative is Bruce Westerman - every bit as mindless as Nunes, just not as well known. Hell, even the other Republican Congress members from Arkansas couldn't pick him out of a line-up.

I'm just wondering how the folks back home are responding to Nunes.

MSNBC had this on for while today.
Apparently in his district they are somewhat secluded and insular. However, social media and the national news is slowly dripping into their little GOP ridden, Fux Ruse lovin' minds so there may be a chance. Check out this article and the billboards Janz is erecting in his district.

The NYMag story is interesting. I can't decide if Nunes is more crazy than evil or the other way around.

There has to be a point where he gets just TOO embarrassing.

adjectives to describe him. Greedy and stupid instead more than crazy or evil. Probably all of them now that I think of it.

resides in the 2nd poorest city in America per capita. You can drive down 99 and see signs blaming Pelosi and Costa for the water shortage. The stupid is strong here.
