With all the talk of the folks in Sacramento moving the Presidential Primary from June to February (and for what it’s worth, the idea has moved from the drawing board to the legislative calendar as odd couple of George Plescia and Ron Calderon have introduced legislation to do just that), it is worth exploring who would be most benefited by such a move.
The polling firm, American Research Group did a statewide poll of the Presidential wannabes from January 11-17.
Yayaya, they did test Dems and independents, but as this is a Republican blog, I thought I’d point out the results among Republican voters.
Guliani – 33%
Gingrich – 22%
McCain – 17%
Hagel – 4%
Romney – 3%
Hunter – 1%
Undecided – 20%

Rudy Giuliani has spent a LOT of time in California, campaigning for Bill
Simon, Gov. Arnold, Bill Jones, and many local candidates.
I can remember hearing him on numerous radio talk shows, which he
called while traveling from one event to another. He is quite effective
on radio with his distinctive voice.
Trail-blazing consultant Leo McElroy calls this “Earned Media” rather
than “Free Media”, and it is really paying off for Giuliani.
Apparently a lot of California Republicans remember the work he did out
here, so he no longer seems like that, “New York guy”, but rather that
famous friend who has toiled in the California vineyards.
(Preferably a Sebastiani vineyard, of course!)
