A recent Sacramento Bee poll was released that shows Mitt Romney has a huge lead in CA.
I am pretty skeptical, but if it is true, it is huge. If Mitt wins California he wins the nomination. Here is a link to the article on Dry Fly Politics:

I think Romney has the momentum to win. He's winning in all the early primary states too.
The fact is that he is gaining votes not from any of the other candidates, but from the "undecided" candidates. His momentum keeps growing, and it is leaving the others stagnant.
This means that soon the others will fall into two camps: those that are looking for a job in the new administration (Rudy Guliani has no other job) who will come out to support him as he moves closer to the nomination; and those who must come out slinging mud (John McCain has a job as a US Senator, and doesn't need to work in the new Administration.)
Romney has the key ingredients to win: Money; Organization; and Appeal. He keeps growing, others keep staying stagnant.
The nomination isn't over yet. It is a long way to go from here until the first results start coming in. But the nomination is now Romney's if he doesn't make a mistake. To date, he's only shown a very professional, very strong personality. It's his to lose, but he doesn't seem to be losing it.
Not good
Republicans can do ALOT better than Romney. We shouldn't settle for him.
That's why they call California the cereal state.
Take away the flakes and all you have left is fruits and nuts.
Last time I checked , we were at war with the Taliban. Why should we let one of their cousins inti the White House?
This one happened 150 years ago but I think its still relevant because Mitt Romneys Mormon church pardoned a terrorist mass murderer of Americans and protected the 100 or so other Mormons involved from federal prosecution!
It was September 11, 1857. A wagon train of 160 settlers on their way to California was massacred by a bunch of Mormons dressed in Indian clothes. 17 children under the age of 8 were spared and lived to tell their story.
1st. They dressed as Indians but after five days they changed tactics.
2nd. Then they went a bit away ,dressed back into normal clothes and acted like the Rescue Party who had negotiated a deal with the"Indians".
3rd, Then confiscated all the guns as part of the deal for "saving" the travellers and Mormon dissidents( who were the reason for the attack in the first place).
4th. Took everybody off a mile or so and shot them all. 2 men got away but were eventually tracked down and killed a day or so later.
5th. Took the 17 children they had not killed back with them to Salt Lake City.
6th. Got away with it. After a publicized trial, with the childrens own testimony admitted into the court, only 1 man was convicted and shot, John D. Lee. ( pardoned by Church 1960)
It ended up being called the Mountain Meadows Massacre. The first time in U.S. history that U.S. citizens were massacred on U.S. soil by religious wackos. This event is even more significant because the total U.S. population at the time was much smaller.(I dont know the exact numbers, maybe only 30 million or so) In todays numbers it would be around 1400 dead
