( This ad against Tom McClintock was filmed in Thousand Oaks. To read more about that campaign trip click here to see my entry on it.)

I don't write much about Tom McClintock because he doesn't represent us, talk to our leaders, hang out often in Ventura County, do town hall forums here, or live here.

There has been two recent polls that show Tom McClintock withing the margin of error of his opponent.

The first poll was paid for by Dailykos.com but done by a reputable company. Click here to not only see the results, but to see the data behind the poll. It shows Tom McClintock losing.

The second poll was done by Tom McClintock's campaign. Not surprisingly it shows him winning. That poll isn't open with their questions or background data like the dailykos poll.

Could a conservative with money and name recognition like Tom McClintock really lose a race in a Republican district this year?

Any other polls out there on this campaign?
