I have a question for my friends from California
One of my political friends/mentors/commrades said that Obama is going to probably win California and that there's unlikely Hillary will win. His reasoning is that Jerry Brown won there. Does that make any sense? What do you make of it?

1. My dear Bleachers7...
Well, Jerry Brown did win here, but I fail to see what connection this might have to any Obama victory...

Maybe someone else can shed some light on this!

:shrug:

:hi:

2. It looks like it may be close. But I don't know what Jerry Brown has to do with anything.

3. I do know that Obama far out-raised funds HRC here in Marin County....
Whatever that means.

5. I have no idea how your friend gets from Jerry Brown to

Obama, but yeah, I think Maria Shriver summed it up pretty well in her endorsement.

Californians have always thought of themselves as smart, innovative, diverse, and leading rather than following.

(she went on with a list of adjectives)

Obama fits the bill.

However, even should Obama "win", it will still be very close. Just getting it close from being so far behind just a few months ago should be counted as an Obama win.
