Democrats believe the fading registra- tion numbers, along with retooled district boundary lines, could open the way for the party to flip as many as six seats in November. Even House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, has warned that Republicans could lose ground in Cali- fornia, in part because GOP House candidates in hotly contested districts could be hurt by the top of the ticket. It's been more than two decades since a Republican carried California in a pres- idential election, and polls show President Barack Obama with a commanding edge over Mitt Romney. Tuesday's primary elec- tion results pointed to sev- eral House battlegrounds where the outcome is far from assured. The GOP has been In the 10th District in the center of the state, Republican Rep.

But Den- ham grabbed nearly half the vote Tuesday, accord- ing to preliminary returns, easily besting Hernandez, another Democrat and two independents who divided the remainder of the vote. Denham ''is in the fight of his life,'' Hernandez said Wednesday, confidently predicting he could carry the seat. He said a critical issue would be winning the votes of independents, who typically lean to the politi- cal left in the state.

A Democratic Super- Left-leaning California is an afterthought in the presidential race — there is no sign Mitt Romney intends to mount a costly campaign in the state, even though it has the largest cache of electoral votes. Obama carried the state in 2008 by 24 percentage points. But it's different in key House races.
