Still, I admit that this district has changed since reapportionment. I still don't understand why a district with a nuclear lab and an air force base would vote Democrat. It must be the people who live near the office parks.

I’m in this district (and have seen lots of Harmer signs and enthusiasm). But it’s getting more liberal every year; it’s just cool to be liberal here because it is soooo “Bay Area” and people love being “green” (even the Livermore Lab claims to be “green”) and no one goes to church. And people are rich enough that higher taxes don’t faze them and they love to help the “community” by taxing themselves.
That’s it in a nutshell. Plus more Latinos by the day.
Still, hoping for an upset. Two Harmer votes for this household.
The Sac Bee this weekend had Garamendi up 10 points.

Looks like part of the district runs through the Berkeley/Richmond axis--solid DemonRat territory. A district map can be found here:
