Democrat candidates always come to Houston several times for fundraisers even though they know they don't have a chance to carry Texas. Big bucks in Houston. Is that why Cheney is in California?
I don't know. Your guess is as good as mine. Most California trips are probably fundraisers. But it's equally important to welcome Bush or Cheney whether it's a real campaign visit, or just supporting a candidate -- in this case, a Riverside fundraiser for Bill Jones.
