BREAKING: Ose to announce his candidacy for congress on 1/31.
Posted by Aaron Park on January 25, 2008 at 05:23 PM
Liberal Republican Doug Ose is going to make his candidacy official next Thursday…
The sources who contacted this blogger indicated two key items:
1. That Ose will announce in Auburn (Headquarters of the ABD caucus)
2. That Ose will march out as many local electeds as he can -
Including Supervisors Bruce Kranz and Kirk Uhler.
(UPDATE – I spoke with Kirk Uhler in person, he is going to endorse Ose. We spoke about the issues and have agreed to keep a dialoge open)
This would be amazing as both Uhler and Kranz are up for re-election this year and have relied on Conservative support in the past for their elections.
With Kirk Uhler, I could understand the motivation behind why he’d endorse Ose – but what about Doug Ose’s incredibly liberal record?
It would seem that they would stay on the sidelines as Ose is way more liberal than either of them.
Ose is Pro-Choice, Supports Gay Marriage, Lifetime “D+” rated by the NRA, voted against Tax Cuts and voted against spending Cuts. (the only thing missing is supporting McCain amnesty)
It would appear that Democrat Charlie Brown is more conservative than Doug Ose.

Go away Ose! The conservative 4th doesn’t want you here!!!
Ose doesn’t live in the district, never represented the district and wants to bring his liberal ideas from Sacramento to Placer County. Go Rico go.
Aaron,
I know NOTHING about Ose, but you can’t be serious. If he’s as liberal as you say, why would he waste his $ running here?
Prediction: Conservatives would sooner vote for a one term Democrat than hand the seat to a Liberal Republican.
If Uhler and/or Kranz back Ose, I don’t want to see the PCRA backing these guys at the next election.
Let us not forget that one of Doolittle’s former staffers, who has been subpoenaed by DOJ and is under investigation in the Abramoff bribery scandal, is now one of Doug Ose’s handlers. That is all we need, more scandal in the 4th CD. Doug don’t go away mad, just go away.
