1. Not much to cheer about, really.

Look at the percentages. Davis has run essentailly unopposed for years because she is in a gerrymandered district and no Democrat has ever run against her. The fact that she beat a bunch of Republicans is unimpressive. In her district a dead horse running alone against a bunch of Republicans would win if was wearing a Democratic label.

That happens to be the district I live in. I would be impressed if she beat another Democrat.

2. Thank you, JayhawkSD

This kind of feedback is important - you know this rep well because you live in her district. I didn't know anything at all about her, but now I do!

4. And in 2010 it was even more gerrymandered, together with Issa's district

It was a quid pro quo. We got the 52nd instead, as a swing district in San Diego.

3. This is hardly surprising,

Now here is the race to watch, I posted the thing in GD but California does not matter, so will give you the link to my site

Suffice it to say, the race to watch is the Scott Peters\ DeMaio race. I even gave the analysis.
