Missouri ????

Great....

:)

[ncalburt]

Northern Calif near Sacramento

[stboz]

Just....damn.

He'd have made one helluva governor.

[St. Louis Conservative]

Yep. Missouri.

I follow the good conservatives running in races outside my state though.

:)

[A CA Guy]

Wow, only 1800 votes ahead after all that exposure running for Gov and Lt. Gov.

He really has troubles getting elected anywhere.
Surprising, isn’t it?

[tubebender]

Won for the Gipper...

[tubebender]

I'm curious what redistricting will do for this district...

[A CA Guy]

You never know what redistricting will do.

[Right Wing Assault]

there is no mathematical way Charlie Brown can overtake McClintock’s lead

Hah! Just wait until the dems work their magic. McClintock will lose by 20,000 votes while they count the last ten ballots.

[St. Louis Conservative]

He had probably $10 million worth of negative ads ran against him by RINOs in the primary and by Brown in the general. Add in the fact that he was carpetbagging and it was a bad year for the GOP and it ended up very close. I honestly don’t think this district will be close again. Tom should win re-election here comfortably.

[A CA Guy]

Perhaps after redistricting it will be easier?

PING!

Please freepmail me if you want on or off this list

[ElkGroveDan]

Yep but it’s technically not over. So we’re still keeping an eye on everything. I’m even going into the El Dorado County registrar to watch their count tomorrow (Saturday). I’m really getting sick of that building.

I should probably point out now that kudos also need to go to Sierra Wasp and Mrs. Wasp who pitched and helped round up volunteers the past few weeks.

[calcowgirl]

Redistricting is designed to weaken conservative districts. It won't make it easier--but he'll still win.

[ncalburt]

NO, He had a very ugly primary with a crooked real smear merchant.
Then the Dem had a huge AD campaign from MOveon.org that tried to disguise the Lefty as a conservative.

[Cicero]

Thanks to all of you guys for your good work.

It depends. Sometimes redistricting actually strengthens a conservative district, because their major concern is to strengthen neighboring liberal districts. But I don’t know what the situation is in that part of California, or what the Democrats’ plans might be—beyond maximizing their advantages and making their incumbents secure.

“You never know what redistricting will do.”

I think in California’s case we do. Our districts were gerrymandered to death. Any movement in a logical direction will benefit the Republicans.

I can’t wait.
