In four Republican-held districts in and around Orange County, women say they are dramatically less likely to back GOP candidates if Kavanaugh is confirmed, according to a poll done by Change Research for the Democratic group Fight Back California and the California Labor Federation.

“These are extraordinary numbers,” said Katie Merrill, chief strategist for Fight Back California. “Kavanaugh is a very powerful factor in swing districts, especially among suburban women.”

Merrill’s political action committee, founded by former East Bay Democratic Rep. Ellen Tauscher, is working to flip GOP-held California congressional seats. The seven or more targeted districts in the state make up a major chunk of the 23 seats nationwide that Democrats need to take control of Congress.

2. Why only if he is confirmed?

... isn’t there enough sense of urgency whether he is or isn’t?

4. $40 of my MI money is heading out there to help.

I would think we have a good shot at flipping a lot of CA seats.

Dump is extremely unpopular in CA, OR and WA.

7. Folks just don't like republican "family-values" drunken sex predators

Because most Americans are decent and honest, and they recognize such republican behaviors as deplorable.

8. Matthew Dowd asked on Twitter a day or two ago:

What if Dems could either have a win on Kavanaugh, or a win in November?

Knowing of his experience as a pollster and political observer, I found that question striking.

He implied he expected a Republican backlash if Kavanaugh wasn't confirmed - and the opposite if he was.
