Any of them military ballots?
That would explain a bump for Coleman.

[Names Ash Housewares]

Correction bump for McClintok.

[Political Junkie Too]

Did they find any more votes for Al Franken while they were at it?

Any of them military ballots?

I know there are 250 uncounted military ballots in El Dorado County probably twice that in Placer County and handfuls elsewhere. For the most part those will be counted last.

Anyone know what is going on with Norm Coleman’s seat?

[ElkGroveDan]

As I understand it, the northern part of the district will favor Brown

No the far north is good. It's just Nevada County where the hippies and counter-culture people all moved. They haven't historically voted much historically. But as a friend put it ACORN people came in this year and "pulled them down out of the trees." There was some labor activism up around Lake Tahoe where many of the casino employees from Nevada live.

Yes ElkGroveDan, I'm from Tahoe and South Lake Tahoe has a large liberal malcontent population that moved up here form the Bay Area. Nevada County has Nevada City, which is now filled with alternative types who are outnumbering the good native Republicans that grew up there. I have my hands full here in South Lake Tahoe, but I'm very vocal in countering the liberal gibberish that comes out of my local paper.

Looks like ACORN botched this particular race.

The reason the race is as close as it is is because many voters viewed Senator McClintock as a carpetbagger.

The 4th CD was targeted by the DNCC and acorn was doing raids on the absentees from the state of Nevada.

Glad to hear about this.

[atomic_dog]

Tom should teach Norm Coleman how these things are done.

[going hot]

Tom should teach Norm Coleman how these things are done.

like for instance, maybe, staying the conservative course??

[CAluvdubya]

Keep up the good fight! I hate to see that beautiful area taken over! *sigh*

[CAluvdubya]

I’m so sorry that I didn’t see your thread already posted. I promise I did a search using most of the words in your title...just in a different order.

Can you refresh our memory again as to what office Tom McClintock is running for this time? I am in California and familiar with his name, but out of state readers may need more info.

The last I recall he was representing Ventura County in either the CA State Assembly or Senate.......

[Fred]

Not even remotely a problem, just need a little back up on it. Some Tom bashing happening.

[CAluvdubya]

Tom McClintock is running for Doolittle’s vacated seat in the 4th District, Placer County (near Sacramento)

[Mariebl]

I don’t even know why this district is competitive with a great conservative like McClintock running. Charlie Brown is an ass, and this is a VERY Republican district.

I believe there was some criticism of him for being a carpetbagger.
