McCain 38% Romney 38%

Romney is gaining some serious ground. This is good news since CA gives delegates per district not percent. Even with a tie like this Romney may end up with the majority of delegates.

Sen. Coleman endorses McCain’s presidential bid

Minnesota Sen. Norm Coleman has endorsed John McCain for president.

The announcement came from McCain’s campaign Sunday, two days before caucuses are held in Minnesota and more than 20 other states.

Coleman had supported former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani before Giuliani dropped out of the race.

In a news release, Coleman calls McCain “an effective leader who is the best person to lead the fight against radical Islamic extremism.”

Coleman joins Republican Gov. Tim Pawlenty in endorsing McCain, who holds a strong lead in Minnesota over his rivals.

A Minnesota Public Radio and Humphrey Institute poll released this week showed 41 percent of Republicans support McCain, trailed by former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee with 22 percent.

Romney is ahead, I believe, in Orange Co. However, I doubt he’s going to win L.A. County where most of the illegals in the state reside.

“Romney leads 42% to 37% among conservative voters while McCain leads by eleven points among political moderates.”

Hello!!!!!! McCain supported by ‘moderates’....that should tell us all something!

Is it any wonder McCain has few endorsements from his Congressional piers than Romney has(over 40). Huck has only 5, Paul ZERO.

The media will bury these polls, so I'm emailing them to everyone I know.
We in California may surprise you people yet.

I expect dead people, illegals and democrats to vote overwhelmingly for McCain so amnesty bill is not in any danger.

Seriously, maybe there is still hope for this country and amnesty can be defeated on Tuesday. Then it would be up to Ohio and Texas to derail McAmnesty and I’m hopeful they will do it.

The vote in Orange and San Diego counties could determine the election here. They are the two largest Republican leaning counties in the state, and both are overwhelmingly conservative. Mitt has to win big in both counties to have a chance to carry the state.

As long as the vote is relatively even, a few points either way aren't going to change more than a small number of delegates.

And McCain will win the vast majority of winner-take-all states Tuesday.

The yaking heads on FoxNew led by Chris Wallace were just saying that it is too late for Romney...that here is a great guy, beautiful family and accomplishments....but the Radio Taking personalities waited too long for a REAGAN and now after all the $$$$$$$$ spent out of his own pocket, Romney is sure to lose.
I hope the remaining states on Tuesday prove these so called smarties WRONG!

What a depressing election it will be in Nov if the two junk yard dogs ( Hillary and McCain) are the two we have to chose between..My husband said if it is McCAin and not Romney he will hold his nose and pull the switch for McCain..I don’t know that I can do that...

This gives me hope for Romney. The chattering classes are eager to bury him. I've been following Real Clear Politics, which doesn't yet have this poll:
Poll	         Date	        Sample	McCain	Romney	Huckabee Paul	Spread
RCP Average	01/25 - 02/02	-	35.4	30.4	11.4	5.4	McCain +5.0
ReutersCSpanZog 01/31 - 02/02	1185 LV	34	37	12	5	Romney +3.0
Suffolk	        01/31 - 02/01	500 LV	39	32	8	4	McCain +7.0
Mason-Dixon	01/30 - 02/01	400 LV	40	31	13	3	McCain +9.0
Field	        01/25 - 02/01	481 LV	32	24	13	10	McCain +8.0
Rasmussen	01/29 - 01/29	652 LV	32	28	11	5	McCain +4.0

Adding in the new Rasmussen poll shows a trend toward Romney.

re: McCain has a slight lead among men while Romney leads among women.)))

Interesting. Women don't find themselves intimidated by the POW guilt trip the way men often are.

If Cali remains split, and Romney is able to hold his own across the nation on Teusday, this race will be FAR from over. My own state may come into play later this month.

....Romney may end up with the majority of delegates.

&&&
I sure hope so!

Geez! Even if one was so uninformed as to not know about McCain’s shamnesty bill and his public criticism of the conduct of the war in Iraq, I would hope a real conservative would be turned away from him just by learning that 2 of his endorsements had come from the NYT and Governor Arnold Kennedy.

Romney leads 42% to 37% among conservative voters while McCain leads by eleven points among political moderates.

This sentence says it all. It all comes down to whether we want the conservative voice to be heard or the moderate voice. What say you, California GOP?
