I've volunteered many hours of my time for Bob Dornan's re-election campainged about 10 years ago against political novice Loretta Sanchez.
I made many phone calls in his old district to people who were supposedly his supporters, and quite a few of those people were very hostile toward him, these people were "WASP(White, Anglo-Saxon Protestent) people." Dornan seems to rub many people the wrong way.
In his old district, he has huge support among the older Vietnamese who fled Viet Nam during closing days of the Viet Nam War in 1975.
Even though I don't agree with Congressman Loretta Sanches politically, she has done very well for her district that she represents. I pretty sure that Loretta Sanches pulled some shady shenanigans to get into office, she had many people who voted that for her that weren't really eligible to vote, ie illegal aliens. Bob tried to dispute it, but the Orange County Registar of Recorder's office wouldn't investigate, not enough evidence. IRRC, Loretta Sanches' surname is her married name, I remember she is not a true Latina.
Fenian: Yeah I can testify to that.
