Tom McClintock Opens Up 8 Point Lead in California’s 4th Congressional District Race
Republican California State Senator Tom McClintock’s latest campaign ad: “Charlie Brown Was Thereâ€Tom McClintock has opened up an 8 point lead among likely voters in his race for California’s 4th Congressional District.
Likely voters gave Republican Tom McClintock an eight point advantage over Democrat Charlie Brown in the race for the congressional seat in the 4th Congressional District. The poll was conducted by veteran pollster Val Smith, Ph.D. A telephone survey of high-propensity registered voters within the 4th Congressional District was conducted between the dates of Sept 22 and Sept 24, 2008. The sample size of 400 yields a sampling error of less than +/- 5.0%.
McClintock’s lead rose to a 53% to 39% margin when respondents were read campaign messages from both Brown and McClintock.
With the selection of Sarah Palin as John McCain’s Vice Presidential running mate the GOP base in this Northern California and GOP dominated Congressional district will turn out and vote for Tom McClintock.
This “safe” Republican seat looks secure with McClintock.

Tom McClintock Wins GOP Nomination for California Congress

Congratulations to Flap’s California State Senator Tom McClintock in his election victory last night in the California Primary Election. Tom who was raised in Thousand Oaks and served many years as its representiative in the California Assembly and Senate ran and WON for the GOP nomination for a Northern California open Congressional seat (CA-4).
Tom McClintock, emerging victorious Tuesday from a bruising Republican primary, will face Democrat Charlie Brown in a November match-up to replace retiring Rep. John Doolittle in Congress.
With all precincts reporting, McClintock held a decisive lead over former Sacramento-area Rep. Doug Ose, 54 percent to 39 percent.
“It looks like we’re headed toward a monumental victory,” McClintock, a state senator representing a district 400 miles away, told cheering supporters in Placer County.
Flap remembers fondly the early years of the McClintock political career and walking precincts with Tom in Camarillo as he ran in his first contested GOP primary election for the California Assembly in 1982. Tom won the primary and went on to be the then youngest elected member of the California Legislature.
In 1983 (after having been sworn into office) Tom gave a tour of the California State Capitol during the California Republican Party organizational meeting which Flap and family attended. Here are the photos and note Flap’s long and brown colored hair:

Flap knows Tom will continue to be a strong conservative voice for California voters.
And, one thing is for sure: McClintock will be a “PAIN IN THE ASS” for Democrat Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
McClintock runs against the Democrat nominee, Charlie Brown in the November general election. He will be heavily favored in this very GOP gerrymandered Congressional District.
