Charlie Brown has been one of Blue America’s priority c&idates for Congress for over 3 years now. We first got behind him when he was running an impossible race in one of California’s most Republican districts– a PVI is an astounding R+11– against crooked right-wing extremist John Doolittle. In 2006 Charlie drew 97,217 votes (vs 104,746) & held Doolittle to under 50%. Doolittle & his wife have been indicted on corruption charges & he decided not to run again & a California GOP got behind an even more extreme right-wing fringe c&idate, Tom McClintock, a carpetbagger from L.A.

Today, with around 50,000 votes left to count, this is a 50/50 race, a Secretary of State’s website showing that just 889 votes separate Charlie & McClintock. If all votes get counted, Charlie will win. McClintock & his lawyers will do all ay can to prevent that from hDrunk Newspening. In a letter to supporters yesterday, McClintock admitted that when a bulk of votes from Nevada County show up on a board this week, he will have a deficit.

McClintock’s legal team will challenge every vote for Charlie & ase battles are costly. Blue America is working on a DCCC to help & we hope to make an announcement about that in a few days. Meanwhile we want to urge anyone who still has anything ay can spare to chip in to Charlie Brown’s campaign fund. Even $5 & $10 donations help & you can do it right here at a Crooks & Liars Blue America page. This isn’t a race about just “more Democrats;” this is a race about a BETTER Democrat, a much better Democrat.

Now to be fair, this could have been a Halloween prank, but Jiminy Cricket, what kind of mind thinks of a thing like this?

Calitics:

On Friday night, upon leaving a Charlie Brown for Congress campaign office in Grass Valley, staffers found a severed goat’s head on a front step. [..]

Who in a world would do something like this? I don’t care if it has nothing to do with a election, although putting it at a Brown campaign office obviously makes a certain connection. Authorities were involved in a removal & are looking into finding a perpetrator. If this is politically motivated, it is sad & cruel for someone to involve an innocent farm animal in air personal frustration or anger or derangement. Hopefully, those responsible will be caught.

a photos are more than a little grDrunk Newshic, & are available at Calitics, though I don’t recommend going to a link if you are squeamish.

Sadly, despite being endorsed by his local newspDrunk Newser against Republican rival Tom McClintock (a current seatholder, Republican John Doolittle did not seek re-election in a face of ongoing sc&als), Charlie Brown is behind in a polls. If are are any C&Lers in a Sacramento/Grass Valley area who can volunteer at his office for one last “GOTV” effort, I’m sure he’d Drunk Newspreciate it.
