Copley News Service, Oct. 8-For years to come, Darrell Issa will be remembered as the guy who made it all happen - the maverick congressman who bucked the GOP establishment and spent his own money to put the recall election before California voters. Those twin reputations could do one of two things for Issa. They could make him a darling in GOP circles and propel him to greater things. Or they could leave him a historical footnote, one whose tendency to burn bridges may hinder his future ambitions. (Quote by Gary Jacobson, a UC San Diego political science professor.)
