(I was working on a similar post, but I'll still post my own, with all CA data and some other miscellany. - promoted by Brian Leubitz)

The problem with most scorecards is that they are written by lobbyists concerned with always getting the votes of potential supporters. Thus, there is an equal weighting while in the real world not all votes are equal. In fact, regardless of everything else, some votes are dealbreakers and when they show up on scorecards as one of 12 votes or something, it looks silly. However, Progressive Punch has a new "when the chips are down" scorecard. After the flip is the ratings of CA's congressional delegation, in descending order.

Pretty good all around (0.00 / 0)

Interesting to note that two Republicans, Gilchrest and Jones, are closer to center than McNerney, Costa or Harman. 56 Democrats overall are closer to center than all but those two Republicans. Tough to make back those lost votes when you're looking at that kind of spread.

The Sanchez Sisters are still the spread (0.00 / 0)

At the bottom of the list, the odds when it comes to the chips being down are about like rolling the dice.
