Some of Sali’s detractors have assumed — rather wishfully — that Sali is a one-term political accident who could be dispatched
either in a one-on-one GOP primary or in the 2008 general election. I’m skeptical. Still no sign, although it’s early, of a primary challenger. Grant and Democratic bloggers are dutifully chronicling Sali’s tendency for contrarian no votes (such as votes against federal cockfighting laws and funding for a program for torture victims), but have they found an issue that will catch fire in a conservative 1st District. We heard many times last fall that a vote for Larry Grant was a vote for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Wouldn’t it be ironic if Sali wound up staying in Congress for many more years than Pelosi serves as speaker? —
