One poll has Romney leading in California, tied in another.

California isn't a winner take all state, right? If so, everyone could come home with a piece of pie.

That's right, so leading in a poll is not as significant as a winner take all state. It does help with slippery momentum.

imo, this is due entirely to mcamnesty's immigration position. many folks in calif are fed up with what has been allowed to go on there for far too long. when you have common taxpayers struggling to make ends meet and yet see the illegals qualifying for medi-cal, state/federal aid, education, etc, it will make your mind up for you for the one who has the best position on how to deal with the illegals. it's payback time for mccain, in other words. romney has also got a built-in "mormon cushion" there, who no doubt will vote for their boy.

That's a good source for all states for the GOP primaries.

In CA, the overall winner gets 11 extra delegates and the winner of each district gets 3 for each district they win. A total of 173 delegates available.
