I'm registered independent, but I was sorely tempted to ask for a Republican ballot, just so I could vote for a candidate named Terbolizard. (Charles Dickens couldn't beat that on a dare.) Besides, the guy was 100% off the wall, and the Repubs urgently need a little creative chaos at the moment. Otherwise, they're going to end up in the natural history museum, somewhere between the brontosaurus and Hummer exhibits.

"Fourth Congressional District Republican nominee Tom McClintock will meet with Rep. John Doolittle, R-Rocklin, next week to discuss his campaign, a Doolittle spokesman said Wednesday...’John agreed to introduce Tom to capital caucus members, who have been loyal supporters of John’s for his entire career,’ said Dan Blankenburg, Doolittle’s deputy chief of staff. ‘He also offered to be a liaison to Tom for local government officials...’ "It’s been Charlie’s strategy to paint me as a Doolittle protégé," he (McClintock) said. "He’s going to have a tough time. Remember that practically all the Doolittle staff was on the opposite side during this primary. But I certainly do welcome the intimate knowledge Doolittle has with the district.’"

State Sen. Tom McClintock (R), running for the 4th district seat being vacated by Rep. John Doolittle (R), said Tuesday that he personally killed a meeting between him and the Congressman that had been scheduled by his campaign.
"Our campaign was making some arrangements, and I put a stop to that," McClintock said Tuesday during a brief telephone interview while he was in Washington, D.C., for meetings and to raise money.
This is getting SERIOUSLY Funny! 
Yeah, just as hilarious as when Charlie Brown threw Cindy Sheehan under the bus.
