and Kaus flouts campaign finance law to tell you about it.

As for the actual story, Jim Gilchrist will run for the House as a third-party candidate in a safely GOP district, and his main issue will be–wait for it–illegal immigration. The calculus would suggest that he’ll pull the GOP candidate toward a tougher stance on illegals, though not the party itself or the Bush administration, both of which are stone blind on the issue. The Democrat, in the wake of the Nicholson-Napolitano emergency declarations re illegal immigration, will also have some room to at least make the right noises. It will be very interesting for the next few weeks–the special election is Oct. 4.
