Thanks for the hard work you guys (and gals)!!!

(when is that MrsWaspman gonna get a freeper name so I can ping her to stuff? heh heh...)

The way the new law reads, with special recognition for “communities of interest” and other criteria taking precedent over geographic characteristics, you can bet the left will work to liberalize every district around. Last I checked there are no “communities of interest” that fall under a conservative umbrella. That’s my prediction anyway... we’ll know for sure in a couple years.

McClintock will lose by 20,000 votes while they count the last ten ballots.

Now, that's funny!

Listening to Charlie Brown’s ads, he was to the right of Reagan. I was going to move to district 4 just so I could vote for him.

Even though the nationwide election went badly for Republicans, I feel we held our own here in CA.

We got prop 8, the redistricting proposition and Tom McClintock. Not too bad for a leftist liberal state.

How many more districts is California getting? I am sure you will have 57 or 58 the next census at least. I think quite a few shifting of populations between states will be noticeable this next census. The North East will lose districts, but the South will gain those because of Northern State exedus. That of course is good and bad news as we saw with Virginia and North Carolina.

[calcowgirl]

Duh!—I just remembered. The recent redistricting initiative doesn’t even deal with Congressional seats—only state offices.

They’ll be drawn for the new census, but by the legislature and according to the same law as before.

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.

Thanks for the hard work and your considerable time.

A few, dedicated, principled conservatives can make a difference.

Actually, the Census estimates that California will lose a seat after the 2010 census.

Congratulations. McClintock was down by 6-8% according to polls released one week prior to the election.

[Lancey Howard]

He really has troubles getting elected anywhere.

LOL, yeah, "anywhere" in Kalifornia!

McClintock was down by 6-8% according to polls released one week prior to the election.

Those were Rat polls. McClintock was a head by 9-10% according to internal tracking. I am convinced something funny went on in the bad counties.

We got prop 8, the redistricting proposition and Tom McClintock. Not too bad for a leftist liberal state. Plus, isn't Dan Lundgren, from the adjoining district, being considered for minority leader? That would make the Sierra foothills a possible focus for a conservative renaissance. C2K

[calcowgirl]

Lungren’s challenge of Boehner failed.

[Marie2]

“We got prop 8, the redistricting proposition and Tom McClintock. Not too bad for a leftist liberal state.”

The three things that keep putting a smile on my face!

That and the Dec. 5th Supreme Court meeting that just got scheduled. . .

[Impy]

Late-counting caused McClintock’s margin to balloon to close to 51-49. Looks big enough to stand up to any shenanigans.

He’s the Californian who should have challenged Boehner. As a freshman he’d have the perfect alibi for all the crap that happened “I wasn’t there”.
