In this new world of Open Primaries here in California, the top two vote-getters in the primary go on to fight it ought in November.

Looking at the final tally, it looks like if either Eva Johnson or Clay Thibodeau would have stepped down, the TEA Party vote would have consolidated under one candidate. The split, however, gave neither enough votes, ensuring Calvert's challenger to be a Democrat. A RINO and a Democrat. Seems to be the California way.
