Local Democrats are already lining up in Condit's central California district, primed to challenge the battered pol in the March primaries...
...There is no further news of Levy, the 24-year-old intern who disappeared in May. Her parents, whose anguished faces haunted the daily news back in August, have thus far declined to speak with Condit. The Congressman is eager to speak with the Levys, but less eager to talk to their lawyers...
