"'The thing that makes this race interesting and gives it a national twist is that Jim Gilchrist squeezed out [former Republican Rep.] Bob Dornan from doing a comeback campaign,' said Allan Hoffenblum, Republican political analyst and publisher of the California Target Book, a statewide political tracking report.

Mr. Dornan, a 20-year congressional veteran, called Mr. Gilchrist last week before the Aug. 22 filing deadline and urged the activist to run for Congress.

'I asked if he was running, and he said, 'No, I'm supporting you,'?' Mr. Gilchrist said."
