In a recent post by the Rose Institute for their analysis of the 2010 congressional battleground in California, a listing of 8 races that are potential be in play.
Here are the excerpts -
.... Several seats could potentially be in play in California in 2010; this post will examine these potentially competitive races by assessing the current financial health of each campaign (both incumbents and their challengers). The post will look at eight potential 2010 battleground districts. While none are yet clear takeover opportunities for either party, some of them could develop into very competitive races.
