CA Congressional Race Drags on Like a Clinically Depressed 6-Year-Old
I don't know much about California State Senator Tom McClintock, but it's pretty pathetic that he can't even eke out a solid victory over a cartoon character!
As ballots continue to be counted two weeks after Election Day, the Republican is just barely in the lead in his race against Charlie Brown!
Wait, what's that? It's not that Charlie Brown?
OK, so maybe it's someone else, but McClintock should be more than 592 votes ahead of a Democrat in the heavily conservative 5th District of California. The vote difference is close enough that both candidates went to DC this week to participate in freshman orientation on Capitol Hill…
Neither candidate has been declared a winner, but both Charlie Brown and Tom McClintock will be in Washington this week to attend freshman orientation for newly elected members of Congress.
Maybe they'll both show up this morning on the steps of the U.S. Capitol, when the newcomers pose for their official class photograph.
"That may be a collector's item," McClintock spokesman Bill George said Thursday.
We'll see how this one turns out. Absentee and provisional ballots are still being counted and a recount seems likely.
In related news in Minnesota, Al Franken is faring well in his recount fight against The Riddler.

who would vote for al franken anyway?
jd you are a tool that I'm willing to bet has never been anywhere near the fourth.
BTW Brown is both a decorated Nam vet and was an anti-war candidate before it was cool.
These two guys look like each other and basically both ran as Republicans. It may be a close one for McClintock but once he's in, he's in.
It's the FOURTH Congressional District of California. Not Fifth. Registration is an astonishing 47% Republican, 31% Democratic and 18% decline-to-state. In other words, Rep's have a 16 percentage point advantage over Dems. Put another way, if the District's Reps and Dems come out to vote, and the Reps get about seven of their independent friends to vote for their guy, the Republican will CRUSH the other side by about a million percent. This is pathetic that Tom McClintock couldn't put this one away.
Eathan, you are a moron- Love Charlie
