A vote for @AnhJosephCao is a vote for "Speaker Boehner"

He can try all he wants to distance himself from the nutball factions in the Republican Party, but, in the opening session of the next Congress in January, Mr. Cao will vote for John Boehner for Speaker.  If the GOP find themselves able to take back a majority in the House of Representatives, Mr. Boehner will win that vote.

Thanks in part to Mr. Cao.

Don't feel sorry for Mr. Cao when he says Democrats don't reach out to him:

He's got a frostier relationship with House Democratic leaders who, unlike their counterparts in the Senate, do not need to woo Republican votes -- and, Cao says, don't bother to try. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi "has not approached me once," he said.

Why should Speaker Pelosi reach out to a guy who supports David "John" Vitter?  For all the publicity Mr. Cao got because he cast a procedural vote with the Democrats on Health Insurance Reform, he still voted with his party to oppose final passage. Should his Republican Party regain control, Mr. Cao's "representation of his district" will consist on voting to slash the very programs that currently help this region get back on its feet. He'll be voting in support of big oil companies like BP.

Why will he do this? Because Anh Cao is a Republican.  His mentor is former New Orleans City Councilman Bryan Wagner.  LA GOP head (and Lt. Governor candidate) Roger Villerie is a top fundraiser and supporter. 

And he'll vote for "Speaker Boehner"

Thank you for the very compelling argument as to exactly why I should vote FOR Congressman Cao. You try to write this with a pejorative tone, but it sounds like a great thing to me. Hopeful this will happen and we can improve our region and the country as a whole.
