Innis would be the strongest candidate, but I don't see him running next time. Sanborn and Burt don't have prayer. Edwards is a nice guy, but I don't think he can beat CSP
If not Innis - who else (preferrably NOT ultraconservative)?
John Stephens who ran for governor in '10 is a name I've heard mentioned. He's more on the moderate side. Another person who I think could beat her is former State Rep Adam Schroadter. He's in line with more liberty/Paul type Republicans but also is moderate on issues like abortion. With the right money he could go far.
Normally I would say Rich Ashooh but after his loss to Guinta in a winnable primary I think he's out of contention.
Thanks!

I don't really think the race is winnable for Republicans, it's money and time better spent elsewhere.
Because CSP is a complete hack whose honestly a reprehensible human being if you've ever met her. She doesn't have the best interest of the district at heart and would be more at home in Massachusetts. She's literally never done anything for the district. And as right wing as I am I'd happily support a centrist deal making RINO over this partisan hack who just votes pelosi's line on everything
I've met her in person before and she's incredible nice and polite. Her first campaign for the district in 2006 was ran entirely by volunteer staff (even her campaign manager). She's probably more liberal than what the district really is, but that doesn't make her a bad candidate. She just has real values that she sticks too. She's refused corporate donations in the past (I don't know if she still does or not).
I agree with you. She's a nice and pleasant person and does stick to her principles, which is admirable in today's age. She's more out of step with the District politically, but that being said finding someone who can beat her will be difficult.
As for Stiles and Gatas, I don't see either running for CD 1, and if they did I don't think either would win.
