Can Issa be ousted?

Looking at the results for the 49th Congressional district, it appears that Issa got 51% of the vote and his Democratic challenger 45% - those are the two who will go on to November.

That's closer than I expected - is there a chance Issa will have a serious challenge on his hands in fall, and may even have a chance of losing?

but, yes, please get him out.
When a guy is weird even by the standards of South Carolina Congressmen, he needs a good ousting.

He's been using his government credit card to pay for Disneyland shopping and much more.

We have a real chance of booting out Issa by supporting Applegate. The Dem is making a strong showing in the state. I just contributed to his campaign and urge fellow Dems to. Issa is a real bad guy who should be booted out as soon as we. Here is link to Kos story on Applegate challenge.
