Rep. Bluto.

Those of you in the Fort Wayne orbit have already seen this, so I apol­o­gize for the late­ness. (DIF fumes clouded my brain.) How­ever, the Josh Jen­nings for Con­gress cam­paign, cre­ated and exe­cuted by our online pen­pal Nathan Gotsch, is pulling off a last-weekend stretch run that’s really turn­ing heads.

Also, it’s funny. Enjoy:

There are other spots, too.

    Two of the worst are run­ning for their lives here in Cal­i­for­nia: My con­gress­jerk, John Doolit­tle, soon to be indicted in the Abramoff affair and Richard Pombo from the Tracy area who was hon­ored last week by “Rolling Stone” as one of the ten worst in D.C. Both have been in con­gress for years with­out a shadow of oppo­si­tion. Placer County where Doolit­tle and I live is the most right wing county in the state. The OC is a com­mie strong­hold com­pared to Placer County. The races are so tight that Laura Bush her own self has been here twice in the last cou­ple of weeks to stump for the dynamic duo. In the past both Pombo and Doolit­tle would reg­u­larly ring up 40 and 50 point plu­ral­i­ties. I think both will prob­a­bly win this time, but it will be close and these races are in two of the most secure Repub­li­can bas­tions in the coun­try. This elec­tion will shat­ter the myth of these guys’ invin­ci­bil­ity and set them up for 2008.

    Michael, it cracks me up that you are men­tion­ing Cal­i­for­nia pol­i­tics and bas­tions of the GOP in the same breath. I mean, reg­is­tered dem vot­ers are 43% to the GOP’s 34%. The state con­gress is solidly dem and will always be. All state-wide offices are dem with the excep­tion of the gov­er­na­tor, whom most would char­ac­ter­ize as pretty lib­eral. Our sen­a­tors are Bar­bie Boxer (who cried when Bolton got pro­vi­sion­ally approved, for God’s sake!) and Di Fi. Pos­si­ble next speaker of the house is none other than San-Fran-Nan.

    You have a skewed per­spec­tive.

    I’m aware of all that, Danny, and none of it changes what I wrote above one iota. Pombo and Doolit­tle are still Repub­li­cans who have enjoyed almost unop­posed tenure in Con­gress for many years (Doolit­tle was elected in ’91 and Pombo in ’93) and are fac­ing real races for the first time in their careers. Placer County is still the most con­ser­v­a­tive county in the state. Go to the Secty of State’s web site http://​www​.ss​.ca​.gov/​e​l​e​c​t​i​o​n​s​/​e​l​e​c​t​i​o​ns.htm and check the results of the 2004 gen­eral elec­tion. Look at the results for Placer County and com­pare them to other coun­ties. Last time out (2004) Pombo took the 11th dist 61 to 38 and Doolit­tle won 65 to 34 in the 4th. Those are per­cent­ages and nei­ther spent a dime cam­paign­ing. Believe it or no, both dis­tricts, par­tic­u­larly Placer County and the 4th, are still solid Repub­li­can Bas­tions with 48% of reg­is­tered vot­ers Rep to 30% Dem in the 4th.

    Josh Jen­nings bears an eerie resem­blance to yours truly.

    And all this time my par­ents have been claim­ing I don’t have a long-lost twin. Ha!
