Rogers promoted the importance of states like New York and New Jersey, which award delegates to the statewide winner and in which McCain is far ahead. In fact, if Romney wins a majority in each of California's districts, he would win 170 convention delegates, twelve short of what McCain would win from victories in those two states and his home state of Arizona.
Even if a win in California left Romney at a disadvantage in the rest of the country, it would be a huge boost for a candidate who has looked, if not resigned to his fate, at least on the ropes and badly in need of a victory. A Golden State win could prove to the former Massachusetts governor that a one-on-one race against McCain really could turn to Romney's advantage, and in the end, that could make for a renewed interest in a long-term crusade against the Arizona maverick.
It’s amazing to me that the GOP would nominate someone who can’t even win California. It’s the biggest state in the country and he’s about to get whupped. Do they really expect him to win the general when the only states he’s racking up are those where liberals and independents are voting for him?
If Mitt Romney truly does win California, will it, along with everything else that happens on Super Tuesday, be enough to truly keep Mitt running for POTUS beyond Super Tuesday?
