Announcing Red County/Placer
Posted by: Jubal | 08/28/2007 9:48 PM
The Red County family of blogs has expanded once again and into Northern California for the first time: I am pleased to announce Red County/Placer!
For those who don't know, Placer is a rapidly growing and deeply red county adjacent to Sacramento. Although it has fewer Republicans than Orange County, in percentage terms it is the most Republican County in California at 51.3% GOP.
Red County/Placer is being headed up by my old friend Jeff Flint, who has recruited a talented founding Blogpen, including:
- Ken Campbell, the former chairman of the Republican Party of Placer County who recently made news by yanking his endorsement of Rep. John Doolittle.
- Aaron Park, long-time conservative blogger and proprietor of Roseville Conservative.
Jeff Flint himself rounds it out with the pseudonymous Art Vandelay, as well as FR Blog's Jon Fleischman.
Red County/Placer has only been up-and-running for six days, but is already attracting the attention of Sacto-area media and politicos.


Congratulation to the Red County family! We need to expand this communication tool to every county in California.
Actually, we're aiming for every red county in the country...
Correction Scott:
"Actually, we're aiming for every county to be red..."
You guys are doing a great job and with a little eduction someday we may see all red.
Thanks,
Richard Rios
