I've gotten tired of trying to keep track in my head who goes where in California, which saw an epic scrambling of its Congressional map thanks to the independent redistricting commission. Two things happened last week, though, that make it time for one helpful chart that consolidates everything in one place: the game of musical chairs has almost stopped, with everyone but David Dreier having grabbed a seat... and we feel like we've finally gotten partisan data that we're comfortable using, via consulting firm Meridian Pacific. (Each of their district maps, along with a torrent of demographic and downballot information, is clickable in each line of the table below.)
The "P," "G," and "S" in the second column, as you've probably guessed, stand for "Presidential (2008)," "Governor (2010)", and "Senate (2010)," with the Democratic vote share first. The names listed are all of the credible candidates who've declared for each seat (or, in a few cases, for those who seem like they're likely to declare but haven't done so formally as of today, like Bob Dutton in the 31st, we're adding "potential" next to them). There are only three incumbents who haven't fully clarified in the press where they're running yet: Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy (and c'mon, they're not going anywhere, so they're on the chart), and, of course, David Dreier, who isn't on the chart since most everyone expects him to retire. (Apologies in advance for not including every single candidate in every race, and for having to make a rather arbitrary 'credible' cutoff.)
Big thanks to DKElectioneer Benawu, who's been great in helping to compile our musical-chairs spreadsheet, and also more generally in maintaining the Race Tracker Wiki. While I'm also sending out shoutouts, be sure to check out the recent diary by Alibguy, which plows similar ground, along with extensive narratives and race ratings.
Here's one other helpful feature: the "Rank" column is sortable. (All the columns are sortable, actually, but this is the one that's most important.) If you click on that, you can see the columns ordered from highest Obama 2008 percentage to lowest. That will help you zoom in on which seats are actually competitive and which aren't.
