the top 2 vote getters from the primary. So the general would most likely end up being Issa and a Democrat. And whoever that Democratic candidate proved to be, they'll have an excellent opportunity to best Issa.

It's conceivable the General Election could be between Issa and a second Republican, but I'd be amazed if a Democrat doesn't end up on the General Ballot.
