The Stealth Libertarian campaign of Edward Gonzalez for Congress, as a Republican

From Eric Dondero:

The California primaries were yesterday. And Libertarian Republicans were paying close attention to one race in particular.

This from activist Mike "Mish" Shedlock sent out on his blog and in an email blast two days ago:

If you live in California District 16, please write in Edward Gonzalez. He only needs 2,053 Republicans write-in votes. If you are a Libertarian, do not check the Libertarian box, instead wrote-in Edward Gonzalez as a Republican.

Gonzalez is the Libertarian nominee. But he's simultaneously seeking the GOP nomination for Congress in an overwhelmingly Democrat district, near San Jose. His opponent is longtime incumbent, ultra-liberal Rep. Zoe Lofgren. There is no Republican candidate on the ballot for the race.

There is opposition to the efforts of the Gonzalez campaign. Establishment Republicans mounted their own last minute challenge for a write-in nomination to keep Gonzalez from having two ballot spots. Sources have told LR that the challenge came from the "religious right wing" of the local GOP, not from the Tea Party wing, and suprisingly not from the Arnold Schwarzenegger moderates.

The results should be known later today.

Note from the Editor - if you live in California and you find out the results, please contact LR immediately. Thanks
