This is not as bleak as the MSM makes it to be. Some DemocRATS will have to run in more marginal districts.

Mandatory voter I.D. is the only way to go. If you want to vote, prove who you are and where you live. Otherwise, TAKE A HIKE!

Wow, connecting La Verne with El Monte... Yeah, there's a combination... Glad to see that they've decided to dilute my vote for more mythical ‘Hispanic’ seats. I don't imagine Drier’s going to stick around much longer, might as well take that big ole’ purse of public cash and hightail it out of town.

California as a state is done for so it going down with mostly the democrtic party to blame is no big deal.I do like that the federal districts will make it harder for a few of them.

Typical of the WP to ignore the real losers in CA are the taxpaying citizens.

[Logical me]

California is the communists capital of America.

Lungren and Mack are RINO’s. The redrawing benefits any and all the Dems by harassing (moving) the Conservatives and Republicans and watering down the areas that are strong C & R voters.

We lived in CA for 19 years only moving out in the fall of 2009. No ID is needed to vote there. Motor-Voter has been the downfall of this beautiful state. Require ID and citizenship and Ca would rebound. Otherwise it is simply lost.

When I looked at the draft of the local San Diego County area, I noticed what they did with Bilbray's district. They hacked it in half, added a sliver of Hunter's and merged it with a current Dem district. They then carve a new, very likely Dem, district east of the existing one downtown.

It doesn't make any sense to create a new congressional seat east of downtown while merging the current one covering downtown with suburbs some 20 miles north.

A bit of history: the woman representing the Dem spot (Susan Davis) beat Bilbray in 2000. He had won that seat in '94. A few years later he moved so the GOP could hold on to Randy Cunningham's seat when that jerk went to prison.

The Dems would love a rematch between Davis and Bilbray.

This is nothing short of an attempt to gain House seats without competing in elections.

Let's not forget Prop 14 from last November will also be in effect for 2012.

Prop 14 prohibits political parties from nominating candidates in a primary and only the top 2 vote getters of any party move into the general. Write-ins are not allowed in the general.

Dems will run FAKE candidates like they ran that fake "TEA Party" guy in NY26. The SEIU in CA has decided to help elect Republicans, thread here. You *know* what kind of Republicans they'll choose to push.

The commission is comprised of five Republicans, five Democrats and four who don’t belong to either party.

Those four are, by default, Democrat scumbags. This is a done deal.
