In my neighborhood of Beverly Hills and the west side of Los Angeles it is ALL about Obama, where my sitser lives in Glendale...mostly Armenian people, they were all soooo upset during our primary because they were all registered as Republicans and couldn't vote for Obama....my Latino house keeper told me that she has 35 registered voters in her imediate family and they ALL support Obama...BELIEVE ME, California is NOW Obama Country (except for the Ron Paul supporters!)

I think this would be the same in many states.

That's important news for the large group of California uncommitted (or undeclared) superdelegates to consider.

If you haven't done so yet, please write a message to each of your state's superdelegates at http://www.lobbydelegates.com

Funny, innit? She dragged it out to give dirt about her opponent to surface, and...

I know many people here in Los Angeles who started out as loyal Hillary supporters, but they now support Obama after watching Hillary lose all respect and credibility. Obama is better known now and people really like him and his policies, especially when you compare him to the nasty troll that Hillary has morphed into. Hillary has shown us that she won't bring us anything but the same old catfights and divisiveness that has been tearing this country apart.

We need a fresh face in the White House and a new mindset. Obama is right on target.

His numbers are now better in NJ too: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/05 ...
I have suspected for a long time that if we could re-vote Super Tuesday, Feb 9th again, Obama would have this sown up no problem. I wish they'd poll my state, NY. Really curious to see how her Democratic constituents are feeling about our Senator these days.

What's amusing about this is that Hillary has been saying for weeks that she should stay in the race because people were having buyer's remorse - about Obama!

Lets admit, California is not a key state in the election....
/Clintonism

Fickle uniformed voters realize they made a mistake in picking their candidate? Sounds familiar. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gallup_Poll-App ...

Perhaps it would help to do more than just listen to debates and the latest media driven 'scandal' before casting ones vote. Clintons political record already had enough divulged dirt to peg her as a terrible person well before the primaries. Whatever ones political preference, the least we can do is go beyond MSM drivel and actually research candidates that seem viable.

Yep. It's unfortunate that we voted so early. At the time I didn't care one way or another, but damned if I want to vote for that slimy bitch for president now. Doesn't really matter though, whoever is the Dem nominee is getting california's vote come election time. And luckily, it looks like hillary has dug herself an ever growing hole

I live in Hollywood. I think it's a shame that Californians did not choose Obama over Clinton when it was the time to do this. Now, who really cares?

I'm pretty sure California is going to be a blue state, regardless of who the final nominee is.

I live on the West Side in Los Angeles...I talk to alot of people about this election (becuase after last election results) I feel it's my moral responsiblity to talk to people about the issues in OUR country. Anyway, there are Hillary supporters...but I would say 3-1 people I talk to want Obama to win. California will defintily be a Blue state....regarless.

So annoying that these people don't do their research before they vote instead of after.

if they had gotten it right earlier we wouldn't be in this mess. ***** uninformed electorate.

In San Francisco here, and there's a huge pro-Obama sentiment as far as I can tell. I'm pretty sure it was a big Obama area even in the Feb. primary.

Why does this matter? If I could change what lotto numbers I picked last week I would pick the winning numbers!

California is going to be a blue state, doesn't really matter what people voted for here. I don't think there is strong loyalty to either Barack or Hillary, and Californians chose based on what was familiar. If Obama would have campaigned here for 2-3 weeks, the results would have been different. But I also understand that Cailfornia is a huge state, and it would take too much time and energy to get votes here, where he would have rather focused on smaller swing states that he was pretty confident to win.

I do wish we had more influence during the primaries though.

Won't the bitch just hang it up? It's done. Come on.

Yeah, this is pretty much reflected in the 50-43 split of Democrats in the nation. You can see that the stunts she pulled later in the campaign have really hurt her standing.

Who cares about California? They're not white, hard working Americans!


... oh wait. they voted for Clinton? Nevermind.

get help dude

This is what happens when you don't read and you take your political advice from public figures and MSM without thinking. Anyone who couldn't figure out that Hillary was a backstabbing power grubbing witch from day one is just foolish. Her first political act was to cook up an excuse to run for Senator in NY. She's from IL, she built her career in AR and she dumped both for the prestige of being "the Senator from NY". She did not grow up there, she did not go to school there, she didn't raise her family there. That, alone, tells you everything you need to know about her. She was going for the power base and could care less about any other facet of her life.

She and her husband are "scoundrels" in every sense of the word.

OMG someone alert the Department of Who Cares(DOWC)..... they voted I'm sure that most americans today wouldn't vote Bush in office but no do overs unless the supreme court says so.

I was so bummed when the majority of people here picked Clinton...

1700 respondents to this survey is a pretty ***** sample size, considering that the population of CA is over 36000000
Not to mention that the difference between Obama's and Hillary's results is within their self-admitted margin of error...

What's the news here?

Actually if you look really carefully, most of the Silicon Valley and Bay Area regions voted for Hillary. The Los Angeles and San Diego areas of course for Obama. The majority of Northern California are supporters for Clinton because of the benefits her campaign provides them and Southern California supports Obama because of the benefits they get from his campaign. Since Northern California has more delegates its safe to say that even if they do this over again Hillary would win but by a smaller margin.
As an Obama supporter I have to sadly say, that I am just not yet convinced he can win in large places like California, New York, and Texas against Hillary.

What's the point of taking this poll? Seriously, why'd SurveyUSA waste their time on this?

Shoulda, woulda, coulda....but can't.

Floridians would switch Bush vote for Gore

What would have been a 100% fair race is if Hillary's second name was Smith.

As unknown as Barack was at the start. No previous president many liked to campaign almost as hard as she did. No military lobbyist money friends. No enormous political brand name, massively established with deep roots everywhere. No states which are yours by default, purely because of a previous president, even before campaigning starts.

Hillary Smith Vs Barack Obama.

Barack would have won all states 60% - 40% or better.

Run any state again which Obama didn't win and you know he would do even better second time around. In the space of a single campaign the Obama team created a political brand name stronger than the Clintons. What an achievement. It takes time to get that going from nothing which is why she took early, big states, easy.

Which is why we should NOT HAVE moved the primary so early. We wouldn't have seen what a truly terrible campaign Clinton has run, or really how delusional she and Bill are.

I wouldn't change my vote.... but that's because I got it right in the first place and voted for Obama.

I was so disappointed in my state when it went for Hillary

Throwing dirt is a sign of weakness.

I'll explain this in simple terms:
Total:
.....Delegates: 3253
.....SDelegates: 795
.....Overall: 4048

Simple majority (sum of D and SD): 2025

Current standings:
.....Obama:
..........Delegates: 1590.5
..........SDelegates: 265
..........Overall: 1855.5
..........Needed: 169.5

.....Clinton:
..........Delegates: 1426.5
..........SDelegates: 269.5
..........Overall: 1696
..........Needed: 329

.....Remainder:
..........Delegates: 236
..........SDelegates: 260.5
..........Overall: 496.5

Projected Delegates (DCount * 236 / 3253):
.....Clinton: 103
.....Obama: 118

Needed superdelegates to win (Needed - PDelegates):
.....Clinton: 226 (86.75%)
.....Obama: 51.5 (19.77%)
Clinton needs to pull 86.75% of the remaining superdelegates to have a shot at a simple majority. There is no chance of this happening. None. There's just not enough capital left in the race. Just go home.

If the California primaries were held later, not grouped with other states, Obama clearly would have won. They shouldn't have grouped the states together.

I'm just another poster who despises the wicked witch from the East that will destroy Obama and the Democratic party so she can say, within her perverted mind, "I told you so". Hillary is Hillary and like her hubby, they are humans who think they are owed the Monarchy. I wish her name would be ignored by all and allow them to take their ill gotten millions with Chelsea and go live in luxury without destroying America. Divisive equals the Hillary legacy.

This Californian got it right the first time.

I say do-overs for all states!! Hehe

I don't really give a ***** which one wins at this point. Just pick one, and let's get these crook Republicans out of office for a while.

And yeah, I know - Democrats are just as big of crooks. But every now and then you've got to flush the ***** out, and replace it with something a little fresher, just to keep them from getting too comfortable in their ivory towers.

Well I've seen who Californians vote for in our state government.... the results have been disastrous year after year after year.... but it doesn't matter, we just keep on voting for status-quo blue. $150 billion budget this year, up 108% since 1998 (population growth 9%), and the state is still falling apart in every sector of public service...

Wait until the plethora of interest payments on the proposition bonds we passed the past 10 years start kicking in....holy crap.

So who cares who we'd vote in the presidential race when we can't even pick people to run our own state.
