Looks like Tom McClintock managed to pull it out in California’s 4th. McClintock is a great friend of the Second Amendment, and of conservative causes in general. Unlike a lot of other politicians, he walks the walk. So this is also a nice silver lining to an otherwise ominous dark cloud.

Acts of mass shooting, kidnapping, occupying buildings, igniting explosives, setting fires are criminal acts wherever they occur and require the quick response of sophisticated police power. It makes no difference whether the perpetrators of violence are mafia, drug lords, radical communists, radical splinter groups or religious fundamentalists.

Thank God we dodged this bullet. California State Senator and ultra fiscal conservative Tom McClintock will be “informally” claiming victory tomorrow in the race for California’s 4th Congressional District which encompasses the northeast part of the state.
