Clinton loses big chunk of her lead in California
By Dan Smith - [e-mail]

In a sign that Californians are tapping into a presidential primary season largely playing out elsewhere, the race here between Democrats Hillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama has narrowed substantially since October, according to a Field Poll released Tuesday.

Clinton still holds a 14-point lead over fellow U.S. Sen. Obama among likely voters in the Democratic primary, 36 percent to 22 percent. But the margin between the two has dropped from the 25-point gap Field recorded just two months ago.

Poll Director Mark DiCamillo said his findings show California voters – who will go to the polls Feb. 5 – have started to tune in to the primary debate raging two and three time zones away. (snip)

1. They sent it to NH

They needed a boost there. When they are done with it, they will send it back to California!

2. "Clinton still holds a 14-point lead over..."

I think that is the flip side to all these stories about HRC losing ground.

3. We're voting absentee

We're in the middle of moving and might be doing so around the primary. I don't think we could get re-registared in time. My SO doesn't know who he's voting for (toss up between Hillary, Edwards or maybe Dennis).
