Congrats to Anh Cao who I wrote about yesterday in my Immigrant of the Day column. He is set to become the first Vietnamese-American ever elected to Congress. He's also likely to be one of the most pro-immigration Republicans in Congress. Given the make up of the district and the enormous advantage a scandal-free Democrat will have in 2010, I'm wondering whether Cao will remain a Republican. He's run previously as an independent. If I were Nancy Pelosi, I'd invite Congressman Cao out to lunch.

Given Vietnamese problems with the peacenik wing of the Democrat party, I would suggest she send Virginia Democrats or other party hawks to ask him out to dinner instead. Pelosi going herslef might be a little bit too much like sending former Dixiecrats who went Republican to recruit independent minded black Congressmen. 5 million in re-education camps resulting from our abandonment of an ally to a last-minute conventional invasion after it had won the counter-insurgency is hard to get over.
