1. Any idea of how these new districts will affect Dems?

2. More pluses than minuses

GOP Rep. Dan Lungren, who’s facing a rematch against Democratic physician Ami Bera, is placed in a Democratic-leaning, Sacramento-based seat. GOP Rep. Jeff Denham, a Central Valley-based freshman who had only marginal Democratic competition last year, is likely to run in a Democratic-leaning Stanislaus-based seat.

Democratic Reps. Howard Berman and Brad Sherman, longtime rivals, are drawn into the same San Fernando Valley district, setting up a prospective incumbent vs. incumbent showdown. Democratic Rep. Lois Capps, who has had little serious GOP competition in her seven-term career, is placed into a Santa Barbara district that is only slightly Democratic-leaning.

Berman, a powerful former Foreign Affairs Committee chairman, appeared to be moving closer to a race against Sherman Friday, saying that he had no plans to run in another seat.

Personally I'm ok with entrenched Dems being challenged as well

3. Mine didn't budge much

so I suspect my district is pretty safe... so is the one to the East of mine, a solid REPIG one...

I suspect Filner tough is retiring since this is such a competitive district. or he is honest and just wants to run for mayor...

4. Mine's still red, as expected (Buck McKeon)

This time around the process was designed to be rational, rather than partisan--and it looks like it's working pretty well.

5. Republicans are not happy with something they wanted so badly -- the

redrawing of congressional district by a non-partisan panel. Sorry republicans, be careful what you pray for.
