Kerry Leads Edwards by 32 Points in LA Times Poll
1 hour, 30 minutes ago



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A week before the Democratic Party primary election, Sen. John Kerry (news - web sites) leads the race for California's 370 delegates by 32 points over Sen. John Edwards (news - web sites), according to a Los Angeles Times poll published on Tuesday.


The poll showed Kerry with 56 percent to 24 percent for Edwards.


California's delegates are the biggest prize in the 10-state primary election March 2, known as Super Tuesday. New York, Ohio, Georgia and Maryland are among the other states holding Democratic Party primaries and more than half of the 2,159 delegates needed to win the presidential nomination are at stake.


"California has received scant attention so far from the leading candidates," the Times reported, "apart from quick visits to tap its vast network of campaign donors."


On Thursday, Kerry, Edwards, U.S. Rep. Dennis Kucinich (news - web sites) of Ohio and the Rev. Al Sharpton (news - web sites) of New York will debate at the University of Southern California.

Edwards has gotten considerable bounce since the last L.A. Times poll, but not a large enough bounce. In the last poll, Edwards was doing around 14 percent.

1. Edwards needs to start talking about "college for everyone" in CA

it has a really good public college system , so his ideas should be popular if people knew about them

5. Dean was the largest beneficiary

Of contributions from the University system of California. Edwards is really not doing any more "college for everybody talk" than any of the other candidates. They all have plans, they pretty much all revolve around the govenrment giving money directly to students, rather than supporting and turning colleges into the equivalent of Public Schools. You get out of high school, you pass and entrance exam, you go to college , you dont worry about paying for it, you just get in. Seems to work well in other countries.

I would have been happy if it was just in California.
