Conservative Republicans were outraged. Snapped G.O.P. National Chairman William Brock: "A tragic error." Declared California Congressman Robert Dornan: "They're breaking out the vodka and caviar in Moscow."

Among its 243,000 voters are heavy concentrations of minorities and blue collar workers. Though a staunch conservative, Cunningham made unemployment his top issue.
