A primary worth watching

It’s probably the best Christmas present the Democrats can think of:

Two feisty conservative Republicans, Dana Rohrabacher and Robert

Dornan, scheduled to for a heavyweight primary fight over who should

represent the 45th District congressional seat that is sure to leave

one of them a bit bloodied and bruised by next November.

It seems a bit crazy considering the lock conservatives have on

the 45th.

Rohrabacher has proven to be unbeatable when it comes to taking on

those from the other side of the aisle, crushing opponent after

opponent since his election in 1988 with his right-wing hook.

Democrats are always seen as running an “energized” bout, but

aside from a few left jabs and the time Democrat and octogenarian

Sally Alexander challenged the self-described surfing congressman to

a Boogie boarding showdown at the Huntington Beach Pier, they’ve all

been solid knockouts.

You can throw all that out now with Dornan coming to town.

It looks like a grudge match, as old “B-1 Bob” is planning to hit

“Surfing Dana” right where it counts -- in his campaign war chest.

We’re eager to see who can take the best body blows.
