We can get one more Dem in Congress if we can help support Charlie Brown's bid for the 4th District. This is Doolittle's old district, so the victory will be twice as sweet.
Come on, people, please keep this K & R, and get the word out. We need this seat, and Brown is a worthy candidate.

LOS ANGELES (AP) _ It could be days or weeks before a winner is declared in the 4th Congressional District, a longtime conservative stronghold in Northern California where fewer than 500 votes separated the candidates Wednesday.
Elsewhere, the Obama wave that swept California failed to flip any GOP-held congressional seats into Democratic hands on Election Day. Republican incumbents held on, though some with narrower margins than usual.
So Democrats' desire to grow their 34-19 majority in California's House delegation — and pile onto their expanded majorities in Washington — hung on the outcome in the 4th district. Democrat Charlie Brown, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel, was in a dead heat there with Republican Tom McClintock, a state senator from Southern California's Thousand Oaks area.
McClintock led Brown by 451 votes out of 311,091 cast, according to early results from the secretary of state Wednesday. Up to 40,000 or more provisional and absentee ballots remained to be counted.
