Ted,

With CA under her belt, Hillary will have no trouble raising money. Had she lost CA she would have been for all practical purposes heading for the door. CA gave major new life to the Clinton campaign. Plus, CA is the big kahuna for the Dems in the national race in November. If Obama can't keep CA from the GOP, then the Dems can't risk running him......and there is a good chance Latinos might jump ship and go to McCain in a national race featuring him and Obama esp because McCain's the only GOPer soft on illegal immigrants.

I have to agree, but even with Obama, CA would still be an uphill battle for GOP.

One thing you can't discount is that blacks, who made such an overwhelming leap to Obama will not be disillusioned if "the enemy", the person who took the nomination from Obama becomes the candidate. Hillary (without Obama as VP) would run a risk of lower black turnout. Heavy black turnout is a must for Dems to win.

Joe

Chin up, man:

It was a good night for Obama, especially if he ends up only losing CA by around 10%. Remember, he gets about 40% of NY's delegates.
