It is hard to get votes for a Conservative in the San Francisco Bay area - the belly of the liberal beast. Even if Republican David Harmer does not win, he might still take a bigger percentage of the votes than McCain took in the presidential election, and thus eat into Obama's electoral energy.

I have done my part by sending Harmer my “little guy” $20 contribution.

I’ve gone done to Harmer’s office and done the phone bank calls.

It’s a liberal blue state. It will stay that way.

California’s 10th congressional district, which roughly covers the northern part of California’s Bay Area.

Well, not really. The 10th district covers the East bay Area: Walnut Creek, San Ramon, Pleasanton, Livermore.

George Miller's 7th District covers more of the North East bay: Concord, Pleasant Hill, Martinez, Solano County.

Conservatism is on a massive unified rise, across the country, it won’t cause wins in the bluest of blue districts for conservatives, but liberal wins will be much smaller.

The reality is simply this,liberals (republican or democrat) and moderates (regardless of party) are going to face bloodbaths in 2010. Only those from the bluest of blue districts will be safe.

Liberal republicans are going to face serious conservative challengers in their primaries, and many will lose their primaries. This will result possibly with some R’s going D in bluer trending districts that had elected the liberal R going D, but it will upend far more of the “blue dog” dems in the General, and also get rid of liberal R’s representing conservative districts.

2010 is going to make 94 look like a cakewalk for the dems.

Only those from the bluest of blue districts will be safe for them. Liberal republicans are going to be taken in primaries around the country as well.

The days of “moderate” (liberal) leading the RNC are over, moderates are welcome in the party, but they won’t be steering the ship.

IF NY-23 is a referendum of sorts on the policies of the Obama administration, as some have insisted, then isn’t the same hold true for California 10?

Nope. Kalifornia, the clown state, is full of RATS.
