Federal election officials question Rep. Duncan Hunter campaign's identification of donors

1. New poll shows Hunter just 1 point above Ammar Campa-Najjar.

Messages about Hunter's corruption trial looming, and him blaming his wife, have gotten out there and a lot of Republicans are saying they won't vote, or will vote for Campa-Najjar. Hunter still has a loyal following but I'm told by GOP insiders that their party is worried he could lose.

The poll was commission by Campa-Najjar's campaign, but coupled with what I'm hearing from voters and officials locally, Hunter is in a desperate battle to hold onto his seat (which he'll be losing soon anyway once convicted).

I'm pointing out to Republicans that if he wins and is convicted, they will be stuck paying for a special election and then a run-off race if there are more than 2 candidates, so fiscally it's smarter to just vote him out now.
