For the many political strategists who are imagining how the
national balance of power might change with the fall midterm elections
in November, Orange County’s first election of the new decade might
give some clues. In yesterday’s special election to replace disgraced
state Assemblyman and family values crusader, Republican Mike Duvall,
who resigned after he was caught on tape bragging about his sexual
exploits with a Sacramento lobbyist, voters declined to give the
ethics issue a partisan twist. Republican County Supervisor Chris
Norby was swept into the state assembly seat for the 72nd district
with 62.9% of the vote.
One week from today will mark the first election in Orange County
of the new decade. This is the election to replace disgraced state
Assemblyman and family values crusader, Republican Mike Duvall, who
resigned after he was caught on tape bragging about his sexual
exploits with Sacramento lobbyist.
