Sam Aanestad is making phone calls to generate support for a run against Doug LaMalfa for Congress.

There is no truer friend to Conservatives in Northern California than Sam Aanestad. Sam supported his mentor, Tom McClintock for Congress when Doug LaMalfa and 100 local electeds chose the establishment Moderate over now Congressman McClintock.

Sam Aanestad was rated the most Conservative Senator in California the year before he retired from the State Senate in 2010.

Doug LaMalfa has serious issues with Conservative grass-roots over his involvement in the Charles Munger-led Republican Party Platform drill for starters. Doug LaMalfa’s staff was involved in the attempt by Charles Munger to eliminate Conservative issues such as Pro-Life, Pro Prop-8 and the Second Amendment from the platform.

Second, the attempted coronation of Doug LaMalfa by retiring Congressman Wally Herger has also riled feathers all over the North State.

I spoke directly with Senator Sam so this news is real.

According to the Sacramento Bee Capitol Alert:

“Unless something changes, he will run in the 7th Congressional District and is confident in doing so,” Lungren adviser Rob Stutzman told The Bee.

That is a very interesting quote and could mean a lot of things. Given the fact that the communists have already started opening up a can on Lungren, it is going to be a long campaign for Mr. Lungren in one district or another.

You can’t predict tomorrow – especially if the Unions and their whores in the media come out fangs bared to stop a referendum.

Here are the final Districts in Placer:

SD04 – LaMalfa has Roseville and Western Placer.

SD01 – Ted Gaines is moving and has the rest of Placer all the way up to Siskiyou, Modoc, Shasta. Ted Gaines wins, get over it – even if the unions, RINO’s et. al. come after Gaines.

AD06 – Beth Gaines has Roseville, Granite Bay, Lincoln, Rocklin, Penryn, Loomis, Orangevale, Fair Oaks, Folsom, El Dorado Hills and Cameron Park.

Beth Gaines is in serious debt from her recent race – there is some question with the new districts if the “third house” is going to give much to Republicans since it seems that soon they will be completely irrelevant in state government. Will Beth draw a Republican Opponent in this +20 district?

AD05 – this is the State-Level District that will breed the fireworks in Placer. First off – this district has Newcastle and Auburn in it from Placer. It has ElDorado minus Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills + all of Amador, Calaveras, Alpine, Mono, Toulumne, Mariposa and Madera Counties in it.

The rumored candidates as I understand them are El Dorado County Supervisor Ray Nutting, Auburn City Councilmeber Kevin Hanley and Madera County Supervisor Frank Bigelow.

I know Nutting and Hanley well – I do not know Bigelow at all.

AD-01 – Dan Logue has moved in to Nevada County. This is his race to lose. The RINO’s and the Labor Unions are rumored to be looking over some Shasta County liberals like Stan Statham (who is now a DTS) to run against Logue.

CD-04 – with a recent Bee article, this district that takes in 90% of Placer and stretches down the foothills to rural Fresno County is McClintock Country – but the Bee stated emphatically that Dan Lungren could move in to the district and take on McClintock.

If that happens – it will be Ose V. McClintock on steroids. I predict that should Lungren run against McClintock, it will be national news all the way to the wire.

CD-01 – Herger. This takes in roughly 10% of Placer and goes all the way to Siskiyou. Herger wins.

Situation Normal.

After reading Matt Rexroad’s comments about the results of re-distircting – I have determined the following:

1. The process was corrupt, but not as bad as if it had been done in Sacramento.

2. The GOP Registration is 30.9% statewide and falling, yet we have a fighting chance to maintain as much as 36% of the seats.

3. In-fighting within the CA GOP is as responsible for the results of these new lines as the commission was/is. This includes what many of you have been reading about on this blog for weeks. It is time to put a stop to it – which means:

4. “Leaders” within the GOP who avoid conflict at all costs, and others who are so self-focused that the facts are cast aside must also be dealt with or rehabilitated in to dynamic leaders. The GOP needs to stop waiting for the next Reagan while a generation of relative weaklings continue to shuffle the deck chairs on the titanic.

Assuming that these lines hold up after the flurry of lawsuits – here’s what I know at this time:

Ted Gaines is moving in to the new SD-01. The nexus for why Gaines / LaMalfa decided to team up in “attacking” the Placer Cent Com is certainly there as the two will be stuck with each other in the State Senate for 6 years. Placer County will represent a significant voting block for both of them.

LaMalfa has a clean shot at SD-04 for re-election in 2014.

Dan Logue has moved in to the new AD-01. He will get his third and final term from 2013-2014.

Jim Nielsen was  a big winner – his nemesis Charlie Schaupp who came close (within 6,000 votes) to beating him in the 2010 Primary has been drawn out of that district. However, the nexus for the cheap shots against Dan Logue has effectively been removed as Nielsen and Logue will now live in different State Senate Seats – since Ted Gaines does not term out until 2020 and LaMalfa in 2018… that’s beyond eternity in Politics.

Beth Gaines – AD06. Only has to worry about John Allard, that is if her team can’t convince Allard to wait until 2016. Alyson Huber has already bailed out on running against Beth Gaines in a bungling filing for Congress.

Kevin Hanley – AD05, he is not a candidate yet. However, El Dorado County Supervisor Ray Nutting is. Nutting ran for Assembly against Rico Oller in 1998, and has wanted to serve in the Assembly since at least 10 years before that.

Wally Herger CD-01 – likely, Herger will retire in 2014. This would tee up LaMalfa for Congress on phase and set up the moderate Jim Nielsen vs a Conservative prop 14 cluster primary in 2014. Herger would support Nielsen.

Tom McClintock CD-04. Will Lungren stay in CD-07 now that it has been drawn to a D+1 registration district? Does Roger Niello run for CD-07?

The rumors are that someone is going to challenge Tom McClintock in the primary. They will get hammered as McClintock, despite his perceived flaws, enjoys huge popularity with the voters of both the old and new CD-04. (Which is the 2nd most lopsided Rep district in California)

What does Roger Niello run for next? He can win any of the marginal districts in Eastern Sacramento County – it should be interesting.

The evening included the awards, the introductions that you’d expect from a County Central Committee Lincoln-Reagan Dinner.

Since we have the AD-04 Special Election – AD-04 Candidates were invited.

Bo spoke, then Rob Matthews, Cheryl Bly-Chester, Beth Gaines and John Allard in that order. I won’t comment further except to say that Allard was by far the best speaker of the lot.

McClintock spoke about the seriousness of our current situation nationally - and he used that to admonish the GOP to be unified. He gave examples in Congress of how unified the GOP delegation was against Obama.

He spoke of those who put personalities over principles. He also mentioned that 20-30 years from now, no one would remember who you got thrown off the Central Committee.

That is true.

Perhaps McClintock was referencing the Karen England-Led campaign to attempt to take control of the Central Committee in June 2010? Perhaps he was referencing her campaign for CRA President? But, he was definately admonishing all of us.

It would be nice if we could sit down and smoke the peace pipe. That seems to be what McClintock thinks could happen.

Karen England, the source and the centerpeice of the current drama on the Placer GOP Cent Com has rebuffed all attempts made by this blogger and others on behalf of Tom Hudson, George and I at conciliation. So, there is open warfare and the end result is that the Republican Party loses.

So, its’ not a simple as smoking the peace pipe, especially when Karen’s ultimate goal is to see us in Federal Prison. Why else would she hold a large check for three years and not cash it? That sort of pre-meditation is grounds for a CSI episode, not a Central Committee.

Between what Karen has said and what we’ve been told – we have determined she’s gone (and/or her allies) to the local media, called the Secratary of State’s office, the FBI, the FPPC, the Placer DA’s office, Congressmen, Assemblymembers, State Senators, Officers in the CRP and probably her therapist trying to find people to enlist in her jihad.

Its’ nice to talk about unity, but is an impossible dream with someone whose life is consumed with rage in your midst.

She has also attacked the Central Committee directly – calling people telling them not to buy tickets to our Lincoln-Reagan Dinner, interfering with volunteer recruitment efforts, and has put several Tea Party leaders at odds with the Placer County Republican Party.

I’d be hopeful of a resolution – but the attack has been constant, obsessive and over 18 months in duration.

We even got an anonymous, threatening letter in the mail. Have a look at the link for yourself.

We are all volunteers here – except Karen. She is a lobbyist with financial conflicts of interest she never disclosed whose exposure likely drove her over the edge.

It is our dedication to Republican principles that keeps us in the fight – but Republicans like Karen England, the GOP is assured of minority status in California.

I agree – let’s stop fighting and get to work.

P.S. Maybe someday we’ll see the “evidence” our accusers have regarding us.
