BREAKING - Tom McClintock to Announce Tuesday Morning in Auburn, CA
Posted by Aaron Park on February 27, 2008 at 04:08 PM
The long anticipated entry of State Senator Tom McClintock into the race for the 4th Congressional District is reality.
At 10AM Tuesday March 4th, 2008, on the steps of the same historic courthouse in Auburn, CA where Doug Ose announced a couple of weeks ago… Tom McClintock will officially launch his campaign.
Rico Oller will be discontinuing his campaign for the 4th CD and will be endorsing Tom McClintock for Congress.
The CRA will be able to convene quickly and transfer their endorsement and the Club for Growth is widely expected to transfer their support as well.
Ose has trumpeted several local endorsements and has been promoting them in a variety of media.
Doug Ose has spent an estimated $300,000 of the nearly $500,000 warchest he had left over from 1998. (money exempted from McCain-Feingold.) Despite an agressive campaign and this expenditure, Ose has gained little or no traction in polling.
Currently, Doug Ose is in Washington, DC trying to rally support from skeptical former colleagues.
McClintock has 70% name ID in the 4th CD and numbers he has show him with 60% support amongst likely voters in the 4th CD Primary.
This stands in stark contrast to Doug Ose who claims a 10% lead over Rico Oller in the primary and being dead even with Charlie Brown. (source – Ose for Congress Website)
McClintock’s entry into the race will remove the 4th Congressional from all national target lists.
