Pombo in CD 19

Well, the race has finally come down to two candidates in the CD 19 race. Now that Denham has killed his candidacy, we’re down to Patterson and Pombo.

This is going to be tough for the voters who care in the 19th. Patterson is a well liked local politician, Pombo is a well known former congressman. Both are running as conservatives, although Pombo has a known conservative track record.

Patterson would probably make a fine Congressman, but Pombo drives the liberals, especially environmentalists, out of their minds. This is probably a little evil, but you’ve got to think Pombo just to stick it in the eye of the Democratic machine.

Environmentalist are Afraid, Very Afraid

No matter who you are supporting in CD 19, the scurrilous accusations against Richard Pombo by the Jeff Denham campaign and fearful environmental extremists are beyond the pale. See here for some straight information about the what Pombo’s enemies are pedaling.

Lies are lies, whether by ambitious Republicans trying to move up the ladder or environmentalists who won’t be satisfied until there are not people to mess up the perfection of the natural world. Naked ambition and fear are making strange bedfellows in the CD 19 primary.

Central Valley Callout asks voters to consider carefully who they want as their next Congressman. Truth is, CD 19 is in such bad shape that their next representative had better be a cut above the typical politician. They need a Congressman unafraid to tell his party leadership AND everyday leftists when to take a hike.
