Although FR Blogmeister Jon Fleischman was kind enough to give it a plug already, I felt it my duty as Red County online editor to do it as well.
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, who is our roving contributor-at-large.
Red County/Placer has only been up-and-running for six days, but is already attracting the attention of Sacto-area media and politicos.
