Reply #11: The California 11th congressional district has been so gerrymandered

[Clarkie1]

it now includes parts of the San Francisco Bay area. Unfortunately, the district overall includes a larger swath of the more conservative Central Valley (thus, the Republicans probably think it's still a "safe" district, but they are wrong). If you look at an electoral map of California from 04', you will notice only an narrow strip along the coast of California is blue. Most of the landmass of California is quite "red."
