Romney Gains in California

After a decisive victory in Illinois, Governor Mitt Romney is poised to win big in California, normally a state who would play only a nominal, rubber-stamp role in determining the GOP nominee, as the Golden State's primary takes place in June.

Then again, for California to command this must authority does not necessarily bode well for the former Massachusetts Governor, as the majority of Republican voters are dwindling into a concerted minority, whose political clout has also diminished following the districting efforts of a non-partisan commission. Stalwart Republican Congressman like David Dreier and Jerry Lewis have declined to run for reelection, as they have been redrawn into districts now heavily Democratic.

Mitt Romney will take in a decisive number of votes only because the GOP wants to unite around one candidate. Even the unofficially head of the "Tea Party" Caucus has jumped behind the governor for the nomination, mostly out of intense desire to end the primary fight among Republicans and to focus on removing the progressive incumbent threatening the health, wealth, and stability of this nation.
