CA-10: A Close Race?

Chatter about a potential close race in the CA-10 contest to fill ex-Rep./State Dept. appointee Ellen Tauscher's (D) seat has been bubbling for days. It's surprising, considering it's a strongly Dem seat (Pres. Obama took it with 65%), and considering a long-time Dem officeholder, LG John Garamendi, is the party's nominee. On the GOP side, atty David Harmer (R) is running an underfunded campaign, but he did receive some late help from the NRCC in the form of four mailers.

The early results, with 22% of the vote reporting, Garamendi holds a 56-40% lead over Harmer.

In CA, most voters voted early, so these numbers probably reflect a good portion of that early vote. We'll see if Harmer can close the gap as same-day voting numbers come in, or if Garamendi wins comfortably.

Here's hoping for a Harmer victory. We do not need another big government tax and spend, full blown government run health care, union shill like Garamendi in DC. Absent the Gerrymandering of the district in 2000 to add Fairfield this would not be a Democratic district. Hopefully in 2010 we can send McEnerney and Pelosi packing.

John Garamendi took the seat with 53% of the vote, versus 65.0% for Tauscher in '08. Dropping 12% for the Dems in 1 year is nothing to crow about
