Down To the Wire Gilchrist and History Meet Today, December 6 Californians to Vote Today Today, December 6, Californians will vote in a special election to pick a new member of Congress to replace Christopher Cox, recently named to head the Security and Exchange Commission. Little did President Bush realize that by picking Cox, he opened the door for Minuteman Founder Jim Gilchrist to challenge the establishment, and Bush's own immigration policies. After finishing strong in the October 5 primary, Gilchrist is now within striking distance of defeating state Sen. John Campbell in the runoff for the 48th Congressional District in Orange County. Note: State Sen. John Campbell (RINO) failed to show up for a debate with Jim Gilchrist at the Ayres Hotel in Laguna Woods Monday afternoon. The Democratic Party candidate did show up.
