Republican Doug Ose has conceded in the race for California’s 7th Congressional District, the most expensive congressional race in the country this election.
“Let me begin by saying that I celebrate the fact that our institutions and our laws provide us a system whereby elections can be peacefully resolved. I congratulate Congressman Bera on his victory,” Ose said in a written statement.
Rep. Ami Bera’s lead more than doubled in a week, according to new numbers released Wednesday by the Sacramento County Registrar.

More bad news from California.
I told you it’s over as soon as the rat takes the lead, they never relinquish it.
Break off and float away California.

Ose and Stutzman seem to think they can play the same game as the Rats: market themselves to aliens, legal and illegal.
They simply don’t get it. The aliens want what they have, and they don’t plan on paying for it.
Ose is a hated white guy. Bera is a Sacred Non-White.
Now that the immigration wave has rolled over even the last refuges of Old California in the Sierra foothills, that’s it.
No more palefaces get elected. Well, not the kind who pander to Obama’s People, like Ose and especially Stutzman.
So is that 12-for-12 where Dems win with ballots drug in from Hoonozwhere ?
Ose's record on abortion, guns and immigration policy placed him on the moderate end of his caucus. He's never been particularly partisan, or easy to pinpoint
So much for "Republican" moderates. He stood for nothing, except maybe somewhat lower marginal tax rates.
Bera stands for Loot the Gringos, I'll Give the Proceeds to You. And of course supports all the other Left/Liberal crap that Ose does.
Who do you think the Looter Class will vote for?
“We don’t win all elections but we always win the close ones.” Just give them the time to cheat, falsify ballots, trash the opponent’s ballot, send in enough absentee ballots to take the lead and, voila, you have won the election. Democrat Bastards!
Bera is a Pelosi sock puppet.
I’m in that district. Ose is a pro-choice, pro gun control, pro amnesty RINO who ran on “working with Democrats to get things done”. No great loss.
As well, seeing as how Ose offered nothing to vote for except the same as the Democrats possibly dialed down a notch, who do you think the rest -- those not in the Looter Class -- will vote for?
Nadie, that's who.
The governor's race here in CA was between ol' Moonbeam Brown, a native-born Californian known for his wacky leftism but to be fair, also known for his "straight shooter"-ness, so to speak, even among conservatives. He says what he means and means what he says.
Kashkari, on the other hand, is a first gen American raised near Akron, Ohio, son of immigrants from India. His entire approach to "Republican" governing is Romneyesque, to working on the same premise of increasing government oversight of the people (business, commerce, jobs, education, etc. etc.) Not one mention anywhere in a quick perusal of his website, to cutting government. Just using it better, you see. More tyranny.
That ballot was either-or -- no write-ins, no third party opponents. You voted for Brown, Kashkari, or declined. When the dust cleared, Brown had 59 percent of the vote, and Kashkari, 41 percent. This didn't happen for lack of Republican voters in CA -- it happened because more and more Republicans are refusing to participate in a loser's game.
In 2016, if the GOPe momentum holds up and a Romney-type "moderate" is nominated for the presidential race, hold on to your hats and pray, because if that candidate wins with a majority mandate, say hello to tyranny Republicans asked for. Pray for a charismatic limited government Christian conservative American to run Independent.
That's how it's shaping up, anyway.
Her lead doubled in a week ..?? That sounds about right .. the dems are really good at cheating and lying.
If the repubs/conservatives don’t get their act together and fix this corrupt govt .. it’s only going to get worse and worse.
Tow it around the Strait of Magellan and stick it onto the New England/mid-Atlantic states. Then give them their "freedom" from the rest of us.
Lots a luck on the months to come District 7, you're gonna need it!!!
I’d tow it to Red China and give them the government they deserve.
Yes, yes.
There were seven U.S. House general elections in CA between a Republican and a Democrat in which the winner received under 52.0% of the vote (i.e., he or she won by less than 4%). Would you believe that all seven were won by the Democrat candidate? Oh, and in an eighth race the winner got only 52.57%, and a ninth in which the winner got a bit over 54%, and the Democrat won both of those races as well. http://www.thegreenpapers.com/G14/CA
I’m not saying that the Democrats cheated (although I’m not going to fight you if you insist that they did), but this proves that the gerrymander approved by the “independent redistricting commission” (where the “independent members” were all leftist Democrats that re-registered as indies), combined with the “blanket primary” in which the top two vote-getters, regardless of party, go on to the general election, pretty much ensures that Republicans can’t be elected in 39 of the 53 congressional districts (with the only reason why a Republican was able to win in a 15th district in 2012 being that too many Democrats ran in the blanket primary and two Republicans finished first and second).
The California redistricting commission was adopted via referendum, so if SCOTUS rules, in a case from Arizona to which it granted certiorari, that state legislatures must be involved in drawing districts even if merely by having the legislature approve a redistricting commission (which I believe would be the correct result), then the California redistricting commission will be struck down as well and presumably the (heavily Democrat) California legislature will redraw the districts. I don’t think that Democrat politicians could screw Republicans any worse than the commission did, and, given the probability that the numerous close calls will spurt incumbents to lobby for safer districts, we might get a couple of GOP districts out of a re-redistricting.
I also think that blanket primaries are unconstitutional, but SCOTUS ruled in favor of them a few years ago and I think that it will take a material change in the Court’s composition before the case is taken up again.
Yes I came to that conclusion myself. The legislature would have likely focused on protecting rat incumbents, which might have possibly conflicted with drawing a map that maximizes the total # of rat seats. (For instance there is no way they would have put Berman and Sherman in the same seat)
I don't expect a re-re-map in Cali would do much. But at least Jeff Denham and David Valadao would probably get their seats shored up.
Under the current lines I think we can compete for Peters (DeQuerrio would have won without the sex scandal), Ruiz's (probably the most Republican seat in CA we don't have, but he got 54% over a Republican that ran a bad race), and Bera's seats. But probably not any others, maybe Brownley, I think Strickland would have taken the rematch, but he chickened out and lost to another Republican in the district next door, haha.
Arizona, we really need a re-do there. Hopefully one that creates a 7-2 GOP map, bonus points if it can screw over that coward Paul Gosar, who carpetbagged into the heavily GOP 4th rather than face a rematch with Kilpatrick.
Yeah, the AZ Republican legislature could draw a 7-2 map, with two safely Democrat Hispanic-majority CDs (I would try to stick all of those über-Democrat Native American precincts from Apache County in one of the Hispanic-majority CDs to make the AZ-01 unwinnable for Democrats), and maybe with a safely GOP CD that is like 60% Hispanic in population (but without a Hispanic majority of the voting-age citizen population due to its large number of non-citizens and children). And I agree: F-— Gosar and the horse he rode in on.
