Jerry McNerney is up 52.3% to 47.4% with 90% reporting! Most importantly, all the the votes are in from San Joaquin County dubbed "Pombo Country". Pombo sqeaked out a victory there 50.8%/49.2%. Jerry leads in all of the Bay Area counties with votes still being tallied. Congratulations to Jerry and the netroots!

A stem cell ad that has had a big impact on other Republican congressmen begins running today against California's Richard Pombo (CA-11). The piece is paid for by Majority Action, the progressive House 527, which has run ads in another half-dozen districts around the country. One local newspaper in Republican Thelma Drake's Virginia hometown called it the most powerful ad to date" and DailyKos recommended a "Nobel prize for political ads."
FYI: Majority Action is led by veteran Democratic activists and has a leadership board that includes several former Members of Congress, two former Democratic National Committee Chairmen, and two former DCCC Chairmen.

The Stockton Record editorial board apparently has their head buried so far in the sand that they, like the Lodi newspaper, think that somehow Richard Pombo is going to stop being Richard Pombo. Like a victim of domestic abuse, they just, tragically, keep coming back for more.
What follows (on the flip) could be the most bizarre endorsement that I have ever read since well, the Lodi endorsement of Pombo. They want Pombo to be elected, but they want the guy who talked tough before he was first elected. They want him to change his corrupt ways, they want him to be a model citizen, they want him to be, well, not Richard Pombo. Follow me to the extended

Well, it's about damn time! The DCCC has finally entered the CA-11 race. They've releasd a new ad which should hit the air today. YouTube link here. I'm not sure how big the ad buy is right now, but I'll be sure to update the diary if I hear anything.
CA-11 has increasingly become a viable race. The district is trending away from Pombo. And while the newcomers aren't necessarily San Francisco liberals, they are people that care about the enviironment. And they are generally well-informed about what Pombo is doing to the nation.
Follow me over the flip.
