Republican Sen. Tony Strickland plans to launch a rematch against Controller John Chiang.
The Thousand Oaks Republican, who's termed out in 2016, will officially announce the campaign at next weekend's California Republican Party Convention.
GOP strategist Mitch Zak said Strickland was encouraged to jump in the race by Republican guv-hopeful Meg Whitman.
"Meg asked him to run and he graciously agreed," Zak, a Whitman adviser, said. "He absolutely strengthens a great ticket. He'll make it even better."
Chiang, a Democrat, defeated Strickland by 10 points when the two battled in a cash-fueled campaign for the open seat in 2006.
Zak said Strickland's hard-fought 2008 Senate victory, in which he edged out former Democratic Assemblywoman Hannah-Beth Jackson by less than one percent of the vote, has prepped him for another tough campaign.

Tony Strickland will give Chiang a run for his money.

President Obama and his Democrat Party Cabal in the Congress will promise anything to get the votes to pass Obamacare. It is all or nothing – even if it ruins the prospects of fellow Democrats in the upcoming November midterm congressional elections.
Passing the healthcare proposals before Congress will “hang out to dry” every Democratic incumbent running for reelection this fall, Howard Dean said Thursday.
Dean, a physician by training who’s a former chairman of the Democratic National Committee (DNC), said that Democrats in Congress — and President Barack Obama — would do themselves more harm than good by passing the current healthcare bill.
“The plan, as it comes from the Senate, hangs out every Democrat who’s running for office to dry — including the president, in 2012, because it makes him defend a plan that isn’t in effect essentially yet,” Dean said during an appearance on the liberal Bill Press Radio Show.
The smell of corruption will only increase as the Easter deadline approaches. In today’s 24 hour news cycle and instant communication, all Americans will be sadly dismayed at the buying of votes.

The White House may renege on passing fixes to the Senate's healthcare bill once the House has passed it, Sen. Judd Gregg (R-N.H.) claimed Thursday.
Gregg, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, suggested that President Barack Obama may back off making changes to the Senate bill through the reconciliation process, which the White House and the Senate have said they would use to make changes to the Senate bill in order to placate House members.
"They're using reconciliation to pass the great big bill," Gregg said during an appearance on CNBC. "Once they pass the great big bill, I wouldn't be surprised if the White House didn't care if reconciliation passed. I mean, why would they?"
"In my opinion, reconciliation is an exercise for buying votes, which, once they have the votes they really don't need it," he said.

Absolutely correct. Dems will OWN IT

The “White Coat” prop used by Obama was certainly revealing. The President must use cheap symbolism to sell his government takeover of American health care.
Will it work?
Let’s see how many “White Coats” continue to practice medicine under Obamacare? With the scheduled Medicare cutbacks and the massive tax increases there will be little incentive for physicians to work. Rationing of health care and scarcity will be the norm as the government attempts to train medical auxiliaries to replace the doctors.
I wonder how long before the SEIU unionizes the government supported phsyicans?
