So why is George W. Bush spending $1.5 million a week on television there - $1 million of it in Los Angeles? Because he is close enough to hope to win, or at least to force Gore to spend in California money that cannot be spent in, say, Florida. Republicans have heard that during a recent week, Gov. Gray Davis' nightly tracking polls showed Bush behind three to five points - and ahead once. Recent GOP polling put Bush behind by 18 points in Los Angeles, but ahead 12 to 14 points in the rest of the state. Then a respected public poll put Bush behind by just 4 points. On Oct. 17, Garry South, one of Gore's principal California strategists, warned that "it has closed up here," Bush is "resonating with people" and "we may have to spend some money here." nypostonline.com
