Democratic congressional candidate Charlie Brown isn’t taking chances these days.
Despite the fact that some Republican polls show him beating Rep. John T. Doolittle in the November 2008 general election, Brown is by no means letting up on the campaign he launched the day after he lost to nine-term incumbent Doolittle last November.
“You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown!” is what Rob Haswell, right, said as he welcomed Democratic congressional candidate Charlie Brown at the Auburn Airport last Friday. Haswell is a regional official of the California Democratic Party and a former Assembly candidate. More than 150 persons showed up to greet Brown and his family.
Brown, a retired U.S. Air Force pilot and a Roseville resident, was
welcomed by more than 150 enthusiastic supporters when his plane landed
at the Auburn Airport last Friday.
His one-day fly-around included stops in Cameron Park, Grass Valley and
Quincy in Plumas County, all well-attended opportunities for him to air
his views on things like the Iraq war, immigation, balancing the budget
and energy.
Brown flashed a grin when he disclosed that his campaign hasn’t done
any polling yet, although some GOP polls have him defeating Doolittle.
"We haven’t taken a poll,” he declared. “This isn’t about polls. It’s about doing the right things.”
Despite continuing reports that he’s still under investigation by the
U.S. Justice Department for possible corruption, Doolittle has
rebuffed, so far, suggestions that he not to seek re-election.
“I will not step aside,” he stressed last week. “I am running again, period.”
He also referred to his GOP critics and possible Republican primary
election opponents — notably Assemblyman Ted Gaines, one of his
protegés — as “weasels.”
Brown was accompanied on his visits by his wife Jan, daughter Stacey
and son Jeff, an Air Force pilot who will soon start his fourth tour of
duty in Iraq.
