If last Saturday’s visit to National City was any indication, Sanders will focus largely in California on the economy and immigration. He also met last weekend with Cathedral City Council member Greg Pettis in an attempt to sway the undecided delegate to his side.

Two days later, the campaign announced a rally in Cathedral City. It’s set for 10 a.m. Wednesday at Big League Dreams baseball stadium — a location that Pettis said he suggested because of its parking and "security advantages." But he also noted that Sanders' people were looking at three other sites in town, including the lawn in front of City Hall.

"The campaign certainly wants my vote but I think the demographics of the city fit his message plus our staff and the (stadium) staff are easy to work with," Pettis said.[/font]
