Everybody wants to talk about the VA/NJ races, or NY-23, which makes sense: they’re gripping. But all the way over in CA-10 is a race between Republican David Harmer and Democrat Lt Gov. John Garamendi; one that Garamendi seems determined to win pretty much in spite of himself. It’s a hard district for a Republican to win, being D+11; but Harmer isn’t running as anything except a Republican. If he goes down, he goes down swinging.
If you have the time, his campaign wouldn’t mind you giving some of it tomorrow. If you can vote in CA-10, go ye hence and vote in CA-10. Bring as many of your friends as you can along, too.

If Harmer comes within 6 points
Illinicon (Diary) Tuesday, November 3rd at 12:44AM EST (link)Which would be a third of the dems voter regiastration and about half of their national voting trend for the district, that could be all it takes for the blue dogs to bailoutout on Pelosicare Friday.

Within 6 points would be a HUGE win for us
scarlos (Diary) Tuesday, November 3rd at 1:00AM EST (link)Obama and Tauscher won this district with about 65 percent of the vote, for a gap of over 30 points
30 point lead to six in a year, especially against a huge-name opponent, does serious damage to party morale.
Hoping for a win right now is like hoping for a game-winning 60-yard field goal. It’s not likely, but if we hit it the game’s over for the Dems in Congress.
There are 145 Congressional Districts in this country that are both held by Democrats and less Democratic than this one
Socialism is Oligarchy in disguise
Actually, this is the one to watch.
sacody Tuesday, November 3rd at 7:04AM EST (link)Out of the four races, this is the one to watch and see as how the Democrat and the Republican do. They are both running with very different messages, and this race has had very little outside interference. If Harmer outpaces the Republican registration in CA-10, it bodes well for Republicans nationally in 2010. Also, it is a great point as stated above that if we can come close in CA-10, just think of all the districts we can actually flip next year with a real conservative Republican. No RINOS are needed.
