Tom McClintock in National Journal's Top 10 Conservatives

Russ Steele

A local Nevada County blogger has listed Congressman Tom McClintock environmental score here.  I discovered that Tom McClintock is also in the National Journal's Top Ten  Most Conservative House GOPers. 

The 10 Most Liberal House Dems    Most Conservative House GOPers
1. Rush Holt (D-NJ)                  1. Trent Franks (R-AZ)
1. Gwen Moore (D-WI)              1. Doug Lamborn (R-CO)
1. John Olver (D-MA)                1. Randy Neugebaurer (R-TX)
1. Linda Sanchez (D-CA)           1. Pete Olson (R-TX)
1. Jan Schakowsky (D-IL)          1. John Shadegg (R-AZ)
1. Louise Slaughter (D-NY)        1. Mac Thornberry (R-TX)
1. Mel Watt (D-NC)                   7. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN)
1. Henry Waxman (D-CA)           8. Mike Pence (R-IN)
9. Kathy Castor (D-FL)               9. Steve King (R-IA)
10. Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL)       9. Tom McClintock (R-CA)

Given the Tea Party's drive toward conservatism, I would say that Comgressman McClintock is in good position for re-election.  Yes, I know that Nevada County voted for the liberal/progressive candidate during the last congressional election, but my guess it will not be the case this time, even with a local candidate, Ben Emery of Nevada City running for California’s 4th District race against Tom McClintock.
