[edit] Competitiveness

The population center in this interior California seat lies in the Sacramento suburbs in Placer County and El Dorado County which have seen explosive growth in the past decade. Recent electoral results notwithstanding, the district's lopsided GOP registration edge gives the GOP a massive leg up in any contest in this district.

[edit] Voting

George W. Bush received 61% of the vote in this district in 2004; John Kerry received 37%.[2] The district voted for Arnold Schwarzenegger 72-23% in 2006,[3] Richard Mountjoy 50-44% in 2006,[4] Bill Jones 56-40% in 2004,[5] recalling Gray Davis 70-30%[6] and Schwarzenegger 61-18%[7] in 2003, and Bill Simon 59-31% in 2002.[8]

Doolittle announced his retirement in early 2008, so in the congressional election, Brown again won the Democratic nomination while State Senator Tom McClintock won the Republican primary, defeating former Congressman Doug Ose (who represented the nearby 3rd District from 1999 to 2005), Suzanne Jones, and Theodore Terbolizard. Former state senator Rico Oller was initially making plans to run, but pulled out after McClintock announced in order to prevent splitting the conservative vote in the primary.
