Calitics has also had a few things to say about CA-04.

But First – these messages from our Stenhouse:

Todd Stenhouse at the press conference, September 16, 2008:

“My understanding of the uniform is that if Charlie showed up on base wearing that he’d be reprimanded. It ain’t a uniform.”

“That is not a military standard uniform. Right? It’s a BDU jacket. 300,000 homeless veterans on the streets of America tonight. You know how many of them were wearing similar jackets? Quite a few. Take a walk outside.”

“I’m not an expert on military code of conduct.”

ActBlue made a weak buy targeted at Dan Lungren in CA-03 indicating a shift in Dem strategy. The DCCC and MoveOn have done little if anything in CA-04. It also appears that a rumored bus-a-mob coming from Kool-Aid land never materialized.

Another hard-left blog: Calitics had some more to say about St. Charles (these religious references have got to be annoying the left…)

CA-04: A lot to report here. While Tom McClintock is off putting together propaganda blogs attacking Charlie Brown, and of all things, this website, he ought to be paying attention to his campaign manager problem.

The camp of Democratic candidate Charlie Brown claims evidence shows state Sen. McClintock, a Republican, effectively is a substitute Doolittle, and in particular asserts that McClintock campaign manager John Feliz ’s connections to Doolittle are significant.

” John Feliz is the architect of Doolittle’s first known political-practices transgression,” said Todd Stenhouse, Brown spokesman. “The bottom line is McClintock claims not to be John Doolittle, yet he’s using his former campaign manager, and he has the same treasurer (David Bauer).”

McClintock campaign spokesman Bill George said, ” John Feliz hasn’t worked for Doolittle in 18 to 20 years.”

Note that he doesn’t respond to Bauer, who is still the treasurer for an active Doolittle campaign committee.

Meanwhile, Charlie Brown has endorsed the Pickens Pledge. I am in complete agreement that the Pickens Plan for energy independence is just a scheme for a rich guy to get richer, but the pledge merely calls for an energy plan to be enacted in the first 100 days of the next Administration. There is a difference.

Blogger’s Note – Charlie Brown has the same consultant as Gavin Newsome, Chris Dodd and Wes Clark, and fellow tin soldier Congressional Candidate Mike Lumpkin… Do you think the Auburn Journal will say anything about that?

I wonder if Lumpkin was in uniform too?

The fact that Calitics is reduced to going after John Feliz and trying to attach John Doolittle to Tom McClintock signifies that their own polling data shows Charlie is about to bug out of another island. If that isn’t enough – the limited resources ActBlue has are going after LUNGREN whose seat was supposed to be less of a target than McClintock’s!

Sorry Charlie – Storefront would have helped you in San Francisco. Here in CA-04, you are a fish out of the Tuna Can.

P.S. Charlie – give that $11,500 from Charlie Rangel-Abramoff to charity, QUICK!!!
