Well, I'll go out on a limb and predict the underdog, Bush, will win the popular vote in both CAL and NY.

Looks like McCain will lose both as he continues to wilt under scrutiny: In California, Bush's lead among Republicans was a commanding 51-28 -- a three point improvement over Friday. Under a complicated system in California, all candidates -- Democratic as well as Republican -- will appear on a single ballot but only specially coded Republican ballots count toward delegates. In this open ballot, Vice President Al Gore (news - web sites) led with 28 percent, ahead of Bush with 27 and McCain with 21 -- a three-point drop for McCain since Friday. Former Sen. Bill Bradley (news - web sites) trailed with 8 percent. Bush campaign advisers had worried that McCain would beat the Texas governor in this popular vote. In that scenario, Bush would be embarrassed but still take all 162 Republican delegates -- about 15 percent of total needed for the presidential nomination. Politics Headlines Saturday March 4 10:47 AM ET McCain Slips Further in Key States The poll, conducted by John Zogby, found Bush leading McCain in seven of the eight states surveyed, and increasing his lead slightly in the past 24 hours. Twelve states are holding Republican primaries or caucuses with 588 delegates to the Republican National Convention at stake. A total of 1,034 will be needed to win the party's presidential nomination. The poll found McCain had slipped back in almost all of the states surveyed by between one and four percentage points over the past 24 hours. dailynews.yahoo.com
