Just Nguyen (Win), Baby! — The Candidate and the Scare-Letter Scandal – California

“His campaign slogan states he’s “not afraid to tell it like it is.” But ex-Democrat-turned-Republican congressional candidate Tan Nguyen (commonly pronounced as “Win”) might want to ditch the phrase. According to polls commissioned by Nguyen, he was actually leading by double digits and well on his way to Washington, D.C., well into his ill-fated campaign.

Such a claim was absurd even before the ruckus over a scare letter sent by Nguyen’s campaign to Hispanic voters in central Orange County sullied his name, the most common surname for Vietnamese. Most recently, state agents raided Nguyen’s campaign office and home shortly before his scheduled press conference. Although computers and files were seized in the search, no charges have been filed with two weeks to go before the general election.”
