Doolittle dumped; Ose, Oller set to duke it out?

It's official, disgraced Congressman John Doolittle has "retired" from congress. It has been speculated Doolittle's retirement is preceding a criminal indictment stemming from the on-going Jack Abramoff scandal.

As reported here a few days ago, conservatitive former state sentator Rico Oller has strongly hinted he would seek to replace Doolittle in Washington.

The latest wrinkle in this quick developing political parlor game has former congressman Doug Ose entering the race. Seems like certain memories die hare and that certainly is the case for Ose.

When Ose made good on his promise to vacate his seat (now held by Lungren) after three terms, it was Lungren, Oller and Ose's sister Mary would sought the GOP nomination. Oller ran a particularly nasty campaign against Mary Ose.

Now with the chance to extract some revenge on Oller, the entry of self-storage magnate Doug Ose will make for very good political blood sport.
