Romney up by 3% in California in latest Zogby
I expect McCain will counter with allegation that Romney has three wives.

Didn't they say Romney had a 0.5% lead in Florida last Tuesday?

I heard something interesting on the radio a few weeks ago. Supposedly, studies have shown that quite a few people will say in a poll that they are going to vote for a black candidate but when they get in the voting booth, they just can't do it. So the black candidates often apply a correction factor to the published poll results to come up with a more likely number. I suppose the same may be true of a mormon candidate.

I think you can always find a screwball poll that's at odds with most others and doesn't make any sense.

Mobilized Mormons=Romney wins California. A low enough percentage of people vote in primaries that California Mormons will probably give Romney the win. But since it isn't winner take all, Romney will still be essentially finished after Super Tuesday.
It might help if Romney could win Arizona, making a big media story about McCain losing his home state. Last edited by SoonerCoug; 02-03-2008 at 10:07 PM. |

If Romney take California, the largest state in the union, that should make a splash. It will say a lot about McCain as an acceptable Repub candidate. This ain't Nevada.

From Time magazine ...
"The Republicans, of course, have no monopoly on bad feelings between candidates. In recent weeks, the bitter feuding between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama has made many voters wary and disappointed. Yet in recent years, Republicans have made a mantra out of Reagan's "11th Commandment": "Thou shall not criticize other Republicans." Unaligned pollster Whit Ayers notes, however, that the Clinton-Obama clashes have "tapped into racial fault lines," something missing from the anti-Mitt sentiment. "It doesn't tap into anything larger," says Ayers. "It's just personal." Willful naivety? http://www.time.com/time/politics/ar...709507,00.html |

Rasmussen now has it tied in California after a week of McCain in the lead and the media all but giving it to him. It is also now a virtual deadheat in Georgia with McCain up in one poll and Romney up in another.
I know, I know, Romney has little chance, but he is coming on strong and making a game of it.
