Did the Christian right torpedo one of its own?

Article Abstract:

Democratic candidate Debra Bowen won overwhelmingly over Republican Brad Parton in the race for the assembly seat in California's 53rd Assembly District. Observers credits Bowen's success to the almost equal registration ofvoters by both parties in the District and the clear-cut distinctions between the two rival candidates. Bowen believes that Parton's links with the Christianright proved crucial in her success.
