Our Lead Widens…

Our lead has again increased slightly today to 889 votes out of 313,609 now counted, giving us a margin of 28/100ths of one percent.  There are now an estimated 57,000 votes yet to be processed.  We are currently receiving 50.14 percent of the votes counted and need 49.22 percent of the remaining vote.  In short, this is still too close to call, but I’d rather be me than the other guy.

The only wrinkle in the count is that we still could lose as many as 1,500 votes out of Nevada County, but we are confident that this will be more than made up from the larger counties that I carried.  If Nevada’s numbers are reported first next week, don’t be surprised if we temporarily slip into negative territory until the much larger counties of El Dorado and Placer report.

My sincere thanks to all of you who have contributed to help us maintain a legal presence as the ballots are being processed, and to all of you who volunteered their time to help as election observers.

Your support and your prayers mean everything.  THANK YOU.

    Dear Mr. McClintock,
    We’re praying for your success. We currently live in Alameda County and have little hope of sending a Conservative to Washington from our district, but will be very happy to have you there to speak for all of us. Good luck and God speed.

    Tom,

    You’ve got us on pins and needles!

    Fitting for a man who grew up near JungleLand to be a Righteous thorn in the Lion’s Dens of Sacramento and Washington D.C.

    I’ve also recently ventured from the tame Conejo, to the Right of Hollywood, and after gabbing with you and Fred Thompson last May, I’ve been emboldened to bring some sense to Los Angeles through a Neighborhood Council which liaises with City Hall.

    May you feel the support and prayers of all of us, to strengthen you as you stride with confidence wherever you’re calling should lead you.
