The special election in San Diego’s 50th Congressional District is coming down to the home stretch, with the election just weeks away.  There are a half-dozen viable GOP candidates all trying to get the biggest piece of the pie.

By most accounts, the candidate who is leading the pack if former Congressman Brian Bilbray, who has been working as a federal lobbyist (for an immigration reform group, and other clients) since he lost his house seat years ago.

Anyways, the conventional wisdom is that Bilbray will win unless he is the subject of negative campaign mail hitting him on his vulnerabilities as a lobbyist, and potentially as a former Member of Congress in a district where the Duke Cunningham calamity might leave voters looking for a fresh face.

The California Republican Assembly Federal PAC has a negative piece on Bilbray hitting wide and deep throughout the 50th District tomorrow.  The CRA folks sent over a copy of the piece — it is attached below.

Oh yes, an interesting point – the CRA has endorsed State Senator Bill Morrow for this seat — but the piece doesn’t mention his name.  Perhaps because the attack is pretty viscious, it was deemed that there could be blow-back to Morrow if he were on the piece…
