We just received word that Representative Tom McClintock, harshly criticized after his vote against
re-opening the government that was shut down by the Tea Party, is in big trouble.
In fact, we've learned from a reliable source that McClintock will indeed be "Primaried" in 2014, which means another Republican of stature will be put up against him.
McClintock, a 30 year office-holder, has never had to run in the new primary system in California, and could well be in serious political turmoil. Two from the same party can win the primary now.
If two Republicans are picked in the primary, what will happen is, McClintock could well lose in the fall if a more moderate Republican is on the ticket.
With the horrid reputation that the Tea Party now has, that is a very likely scenario. Frank Bigelow, moderate Republican from Madera, soundly beat Rico Oller, the Tea Party favorite in 2012.
The name of the person running against McClintock has not yet been made public, but we will let you know when we hear. After all, if we could get rid of Lungren, we should be easily able to get rid of McClintock.

If McClintock has already been in there for 30 years, are we just going to let him die in office like that 82 year old who just died in florida? We need new blood. I agree with that, so I'm in! I'll tell all my Republican friends.
These guys get elected and its such a cushy job, they'll do anything to stay in. Look at Spellman. I heard about a filty letter he wrote about women because of someone who criticized him. We really need to clean house. He's bigtime Tea Party too.
lol, lol, serves him right!
Yeah, for being so happy that our forest burnt down and killed all those frogs he hates.
This is great. This guy never does anything for us. He's so wrapped up or (hooded) in the Tea Party, he's oblivious to the real world.
I've heard the Republican Party is "primarying" tea party candidates all over California and calling it a cleansing of the 'hood ornaments".
who all is considered tea party? religious? racist? right-wing? are there others? please help.
I totally love that one. the three 'R's" of the tea potty...
Didn't get to read this one yesterday. Who will run?
We are not racists; well, maybe some, like FOX says, but not all.
Heard that representatives from big biz groups have been meeting with potential challengers.
