Michael Stansfield never expected to be a major player in California politics when he threw his hat into a congressional race as a Republican agitating for peace in the Middle East. Now he's doing well enough in Tuesday's voting to risk shutting Democrats out of a seat they'd expected to win in November. It could be days or weeks before it's known which top-two finishers will advance to the general election in the state's 6th Congressional District. But Stansfield is outpacing the Democrats so far with the district's former Republican congressman, now an independent, in the lead. The outstanding ballots are expected to lean Democratic.
