LSI is not sure what is the going on with Rho Khanna's campaign but they sure know how to spin a terrible trouncing. Right after the election, a mass email campaign already started by Khanna depicting Honda as a weak candidate since he only won 49% of the total votes in a 4-person race.
Up till the primary election, LSI was told by his people that he had been getting a lot of supports from tens of thousands of phone calls and weekly town hall meetings with his voters for the last one year. Surprisingly, he could not even beat Honda in his own hometown and county. Khanna lost by almost 19 points to Honda in Alameda County. He did worse in Santa Clara County with a 24 points difference.
Khanna wants badly the Vietnamese-American votes and is trying his best to hitch a free ride on the coattail of attorney Tam Nguyen's popularity in the community. However, his lack of record working and supporting the Vietnamese-American community is being scrutinized within the community.
In general, the conventional wisdom is that Khanna made a wrong impression in the primary with the overall voting population.
The unscientific feedback that LSI received so far is the typical Bay Area voters do not really care for the negative attacks that are borderline the truth against an incumbent like Mike Honda, a respected figure who came across as a caring and affable grandfather. The barrage of negative attacks in the primary did not stick and left voters with bad taste in their mouth.
