Craig Huey almost won. The trick: he’s a principled conservative.

South Bay Republican Craig Huey lost, 45% to Janice Hahn's 54%. Craig Huey received a higher percentage of the vote in this district than gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon, George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, John McCain, Meg Whitman, and Carly Fiorina. How? He is a principled, conservative tea party candidate running in a heavily Democrat district. Almost won. Run a conservative like Huey nationwide to defeat Obama.
