CA: Fight to replace Doolittle divides Placer Republicans
Sacramento Bee ^ | 2 June 2008 | Peter Hecht

Doolittle was hailed by elected officials in a vast, stoutly Republican district for bringing home federal dollars. His bountiful political leadership fund furnished the purse strings for candidates and causes. His fiery conservatism plucked the heartstrings of party activists.

(snip)

Regional elected officials who stood with Doolittle now overwhelmingly support former Sacramento-area Rep. Doug Ose, claiming he is best suited to secure federal funding for local projects and infrastructure.

Republican Party activists, particularly the local county GOP central committee members who were among Doolittle's most devout supporters, are breaking strongly for Ose's rival, state Sen. Tom McClintock.

(snip)

Tom Hudson, chairman of the Placer County Republican Central Committee, said "nearly all of the activists have gone with McClintock" as their champion for traditional values and smaller government.

(snip)

But Placer County Supervisor Kirk Uhler said it is no surprise that all five Placer supervisors and some 70 other elected officials in the 4th Congressional District stand with Ose.

"Doug understands the federal government has the responsibility to solve problems," said Uhler, who believes the former Sacramento-area congressman will work to address transportation, water and other infrastructure needs of the district.

(snip)

Doolittle is endorsing neither candidate. His longtime political campaign team is working for Ose. His former California legislative chief of staff is running McClintock's campaign.

Ose, who locked up many endorsements before McClintock entered the race, has district backers including elected officials in eight counties, seven cities and local entities from water agencies to school boards.

"Did you go? How was it?"

No, I saved my gas so I can afford to give him more money to suffocate the insufferable lout, Charlie Brown!!!

The dumbass Demonicrats think they're going to give Tom McClintock (who should be our Governor today) the Richard Pombo treatment.

This is too good, since as I watched the Roseville victory party, Tom reminded everybody that even in his losing campaign for Lt. Governor, he got thousands of more votes in District 4 than Charlie did in he near victory over Doolittle!!!

The Demonicrat clown is goin down!!! Bigtime!!!

What a fantastic victory for legitimate conservatism here next door to CA's capitol!!! Tom promptly thanked his family for their having taken all the abuse by Ose without being able to say ANYTHING!!!

He recognized how terribly hard that is, kind of like what Doolittle's family had to endure during a phony interminable investigation by a hostile Republican controlled Justice Department with no charges ever filed and no justification offered for the investigation!!!
