In Central Valley, conservative flight to the right

An informal poll reveals tough views about Republican presidential candidates: Romney is wishy-washy, Gingrich is a non-starter and Ronald Reagan is the once and forever king.

The way things are going in the GOP presidential primary, there's now an outside chance that California's 169 delegate votes — the most of any state in the nation — could come into play.

Who knew?

It seemed, way back when, that Mitt Romney was a safe bet to make it to the dance with President Obama in November. Then Newt Gingrich came on like the bull terrier he is, followed by a surprising surge from Rick Santorum. If the seesaw ride continues, it could even make California's June 5 primary relevant for once.

So whom do California conservatives like?

We vote in June and a statewide race costs like $20 million. One top of that, I believe the Republican contest is winner-take-all and i only see Santorum being potent in Orange County and maybe the San Diego area.
