Is Van Tran the GOP's future?

From what it looks like to me, Van Tran is the perfect type of candidate for Republicans to be running in the race for a seat from California in the House of Representatives. Obviously, he has the support of some of the major players in the party and his background makes him very intriguing should he decide to run. Living close to California, I have seen the diversity that exists in places like Orange County. Tran has an excellent chance to reinvigorate the Vietnamese community and get them to help him and Republicans move closer to victory. I can see how incumbent Loretta Sanchez would have the edge to begin with given her Hispanic heritage and the large number of Hispanic voters within her district. What stands out to me though is that she understands the importance of the large Vietnamese community that she has to represent and has joined a Congressional caucus to demonstrate her support and appreciation of them. Yet, Tran probably would capture most of those votes and Sanchez would be left trying to work on getting party loyalists out to win. It has been proven that Republicans can win in the area and with former President Bush holding an edge when he ran for President in the district, Tran may just be able to swing the vote Republicans way once again.
