County Republican club takes a rare stance
The Lincoln Club of Orange County made a rare move Friday, voting
to endorse Rep. Dana Rohrabacher over former Congressman Bob Dornan,
who is challenging the incumbent in the March 2 primary.
An official with the Lincoln Club said a primary endorsement is
unusual and has only been given a handful of times in the club’s
42-year history.
Dornan, a fiery right-wing radio talk show host, surprised local
Republicans last month when he filed papers to run against
Rohrabacher, who has held a seat in Congress since 1988. After losing
his seat to Loretta Sanchez and failing in a 1998 rematch, Dornan has
been out of the political arena.
