		Bilbray won despite having to emerge from a field of 18 candidates in the first round of the election, back in April.
		Bilbray also suffered from being perceived as a moderate in a conservative district; from (unfortunate) sniping from the conservatives he defeated; and from the Busby campaign's unprecedented ad-buy aimed at encouraging conservatives to vote for a third candidate even more hostile to illegal immigration than Bilbray (sort of a reverse triangulation, if that's geometrically possible).
		Both McCain and Bilbray cited their differences over the border as the reason for the split; Bilbray has harshly criticized the Senate's proposal as an amnesty for illegals and he even chided the Vice President for the Administration's policy.
