I guess it is an artifact of the post-2000 census redistricting plan in California which emphasized creating safe congressional districts, but the Golden State-GOP has been largely immune to the massive setbacks seen in other areas of the country over the last two election cycles. That may be about to change, with the DCCC targeting eight separate incumbent Republicans in 2010. Apparently, Republican registration in California is ‘dropping like a stone’. One thing I’m fairly sure of is that the Democrats could pick up at least eight seats after the 2010 census if the districts are drawn more competitively.
