Poll: McCain springs ahead in California
CNN ^ | January 28, 2008 | Paul Steinhauser

Posted on 01/29/2008 1:21:57 AM PST by Berlin_Freeper

The Arizona senator is 13 points ahead of his closest rival in a CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Monday: Thirty-nine percent of likely California Republican primary voters back McCain, while 26 percent support former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.

For McCain, that's a 19-point jump in the polls since the last CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey conducted in the state two weeks ago.

He's risking snapping a hip if he keeps that up.

The dude looks OLD.

He doesn’t just LOOK old, he is OLD.

I suspect CNN anything...esp their polls since they are in the tank for McAmnesty

You hit it on the head—McCain is Dole II—or Dole A.D.

Exactly! Don’t believe any CNN poll...Romney is easily within striking distance in CA...Of course, Hillary (if she’s the nominee) will very likely win CA over McCain OR Romney. But if the Obamanation is the nominee, a lot of folks will opt for Romney, IMHO.

Ah, the once great, conservative state of California loves McCain. The two M’s love McCain. (Moderates and Mexicans).

I will not vote for McCain under any circumstance. Fear not for those who hate
Hillary more than McCain, as the vote McCain loses from me will be more than countered by Rino’s, Moderates, Independents and Mexicans both legal and illegal.

If McCain is to be sent to the White House, let the above mentioned rainbow voters listed above carry him across the finish line. As for me, I won’t be apart of that bunch.

I do not believe McCain leads any longer in California.
ILLEGALS are a huge problem in CA...and people do not want a guy who is for amnesty.

He is pretty long of tooth...and he is mean spirited...
He also lies like a rug.

“CA...and people do not want a guy who is for amnesty”

Ca is swamped with legals and illegals and that, unfortunately will work in McCains favor. I wish it were not true, but it is a fact.

He tried BEFORE he ran for president. When he was going to run, I was excited--then he morphed into this "moderate" and I thought "What the hell happened to him?"

Like Dole, McCain doesn't get me at all interested in voting for him.

Is our crop of candidates really that bad that people are flocking to MCCAIN? This is just depressing.

And you’re right...McCain is Bob Dole with half the charisma.

Dead people can’t vote either, but their names pop up on voter rolls a lot as well. The fact is Ca has been overrun by moderates, independents and lots of hispanics. And that is McCains voter base. Conservatives are are a big minority, like new York.

Mike Huckabee is the only conservative left.

It could be a travesty not to support him.

TMM, speaking as a Californian, if McCain really is ahead here, which I seriously doubt, it's not because of McCain/Kennedy, I assure you. The media is using the polls to support their darling McCain. They will change drastically anyway after Florida votes.

I don't see why you think a large hispanic population will help him. Either they will vote Democrat to protect their social programs, they are successful tax payers who don't support illegals and won't vote for him, or they are illegal and can't vote. Contrary to our reputation, there are a lot of very conservative people here, and independents can't vote in our Republican primary.

Frankly, your characterization is unfair to Dole. :)
