CA Conservatives Race to Romney, But Is That Enough To Leapfrog McCain on Primary Eve? 24 hours till votes are counted in the California Republican Primary, Mitt Romney has pulled close enough to John McCain that the contest should best be characterized as too-close-to-call, according to SurveyUSA's 12th pre-primary tracking poll. Among all likely Republican Primary voters, it's McCain 39%, Romney 36%, others in single digits. Compared to a SurveyUSA poll 1 week ago, conducted before Rudolph Giuliani withdrew from the contest, McCain is up 2, Romney is up 11. McCain had led by 12, now by 3, within the survey's 4.4 percent margin of sampling error. Among Conservatives, Romney now leads by 10. Among Moderates, McCain leads by 16. Romney has tied McCain among men. McCain leads among women, as he has for all of January.

McCain leads by 21 in greater San Francisco. Romney leads by 6 in the Inland Empire. The two are effectively tied in Greater Los Angeles and in the Central Valley.

Among Pro-Life voters, Romney has a slight edge. Among Pro-Choice voters, McCain leads by 15. Romney has leapfrogged McCain among gun owners. McCain maintains a double-digit advantage among those who do not own a gun.

“What’s your take on that in your district?”

Sorry, but I don’t have any feel on it whatsoever. I haven’t spent any time mixing around in this area recently and I have zero knowledge of the current mood.

Lately all of my social time has been spent outside of my neighborhood (district).

I don't see why. Romney has said he would sign the AWB as POTUS, while McCain has said he would not.

I do not know but I do know that they certainly skewed their polls in NH and Iowa... in hopes of changing the election outcome. I do not trust any media... not even Fox any longer. It is a sad state of affairs that our media has absolutely no credibility left with a thinking American.

You're killing me... Does this mean that Romney is too liberal for the San Francisco voter??

I have been wrestling with this conclusion myself

Folks I really would like to support Mitt, however, I just have a few questions. Here are a few articles that I found on the net regarding Mitt. Boy, I sure would appreciate some answers to these very factual articles and youtube postings. The part that concerns me the most is when one hears Mitt in his own words. Any suggestions

Just curious, do you have a lot of guns that you would have to surrender, or are you planning to buy some?

“I live in Duncan Hunter’s district, I guess his endorsement will carry a lot of weight in this conservative district, did he endorse Romney?”

Hunter endorsed the clusterHuck.

Weight of that endorsement in California as measured in delegates? Zip zero nada

“Interesting that the pro-choicers like McCain more than they like Romney. Hmmmm....”

Vote McCain and forget about ever overturning Roe.

They see McCain as a clear and present danger.

Ha, ha! I'm sure you would realllly like to support Romney. Trying to fool others that you really are just curious as opposed to your rhetorical reality?

Why doesn’t Romney compare his marriage to that of McCain. Yes his second marriage is fine, but he should discuss the fact that McCain left his first wife while she was fighting cancer. Wouldn’t that at least give him a few points. People have been very quiet about this fact unless they are waiting for the general to bring it up.
