I’m hoping ACORN hasn’t found Placer Co. yet!
ACORN in Placer County? No, but they almost certainly found Nevada County.
In every area of CA-04 it was reasonably close with Tom winning the majority of votes in all but 3 member counties. However, Nev Co went 3 to 1 for Brown, 75% to 25% - that’s a HUGE margin in a contested race, and it was almost enough to make up the difference in what would have otherwise been a devastatingly huge defeat for Mr. Brown.
Nev Co is the liberal strong hold in the CA foothills.
It is comprised largely of Grass Valley and Nevada City and has been a haven for the granola crowd since the late 60s. When people come to places like Auburn and wonder how we ended up with so many ‘rednecks’ in CA we simply tell them to keep driving a little farther up 49 and they will find their cliche’.
For the record - Mr. Brown ran a ‘Jim Webb-esque’ campaign. If you didn’t KNOW he was a liberal democrat, you would have thought from his ads that he was Reagan’s best buddy and the leader of a conservative revolution. (Note to Mr. Brown - calling yourself ‘conservative’ while taking money from Code Pink is not just deceitful, it’s borderline treasonous.)
