Many things, both positive and negative, have been said about Loretta Sanchez. She's always a lightning rod for controversy. But, this is just a good move, no argument necessary: (Picture and text from Bolsavik.com)

U.S. Rep. Loretta Sanchez on Sunday demonstrated one reason she's been, and most likely will continue to be, the most popular politician in Little Saigon.

Facing only token opposition in this November elections, Sanchez still went out walking precincts on this, the first week-end after the primary. Not many twelfth-year Congress members still walk precincts any more.

And not just that, she even chose to begin her campaign in west Santa Ana, where most residents are Vietnamese. That's her in the photo with a Viet voter; they're checking the voter registration list.

Freshman (again) Congressman Brian Bilbray won't even fly back to the district to debate Democratic nominee Nick Leibham in CA-50. It's refreshing to see a 6-term incumbent still walking precincts.

Good on you, Rep. Sanchez.
