Many years ago a wise friend of mine, Larry Arnn – now President of Hillsdale College -- told me that if you stand on principle, you’re going to lose some elections and those that you win, you’re not going to win by much. But those elections that you do win are going to mean something.
And that is certainly true of this election. The liberal wave that swept over America last month lapped at the edges of this district, but it literally was in the 4th Congressional district of California where that wave was turned back.
