Announcing Red County/Placer

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.
