38. On the down-low but California is in Play cause McCain wont concede it so easily!
McCain is quite well known and liked in California. He has already stated that simply writing off CA is not in the cards this year and he is gonna make the Democratic candidate fight for it tooth and nail. He does not need it to win it but knows either Dem does.

I live in California and I can tell you that Hispanics for the most part are not that impressed with Obama, working class whites we already know he is not resonating with, and Asian Americans are a toss up. With a popular moderate Republican Governor working for McCain's election here and the knock down drag out nature of the Democratic race giving McCain a jump start in running a general election campaign, he has hit the ground running in California. McCain's Spanish language web sites and campaign literature, his perceived common sense approach toward immigration reform, and experience as a borderland state politician makes him very attractive to Hispanic voters.

You throw in an African-american VP choice like Rice or Powell and you've got a perfect storm brewing.
