Megan Goldsby, CBS Local - San Francisco
SAN FRANCISCO (KCBS) – The Republican presidential contest remains unsettled, and California could be the state that finally decides it. Super Tuesday turned out much like a children’s birthday party – everybody left with a prize, according to former California Republican Party chair Ron Nehring.
“Everyone is going to stay in this contest throughout the month of March,” said Nehring. “I’d be very surprised if anyone dropped out.”

I know we are fruits and nuts, but we have more rock ribbed conservatives here than many other states. We are drowned out a lot.
The difference between California 1972 and California 2012 are striking.
Reagan wouldn’t be elected Governor if he were to reincarnate and run today.
Hey! I’m in California and so is JimRob :-) Maybe we can throw this thing to Gingrich.
That was the California of 30 years ago. Things have changed for the worse since then. Where it went horribly wrong I can’t say, but it has gone horribly wrong none the less.
