CA-04: McClintock Declares Victory! (Ignore my previous pessimistic post)
The Union of Grass Valley ^ | November 21, 2008 | Staff

Posted on 11/21/2008 6:36:32 PM PST by St. Louis Conservative

The campaign of Republican congresisonal candidate Tom McClintock said the vote tally released late Friday from Placer County "mathematically ensures McClintock victory" in the 4th District.

"Placer County today completed the process of counting absentee and provisional votes, and Tom McClintock gained 1,464 votes," the campaign announced.

"The final Placer County tally gives McClintock a lead of 1,793 votes over (Democrat) Charlie Brown. With the vote tally completed in Placer and Nevada Counties, there is no mathematical way Charlie Brown can overtake McClintock’s lead in the Fourth Congressional District election.

“The votes are almost all in and the result is no longer in doubt,” said McClintock spokesman Bill George. “With the small number of votes remaining to be counted, there is no way Charlie Brown can overcome McClintock’s lead. The Placer County vote total leaves no doubt that Tom McClintock has prevailed in this race and will represent the district in Congress.”

Yep. Missouri.

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

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?

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

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

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.

Perhaps after redistricting it will be easier?

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.

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

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.

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.
