Now, California

Article Abstract:

The California primary is a key stage in US presidential elections, and candidates who lose n California do not usually manage to become president. Al Gore looks likely to beat Bill Bradley in California, for the Democrats, but the Republican choice between John McCain and George W Bush looks less clear cut. California is becoming younger with a greater proportion of Latinos and African Americans, and older, white, intolerant Republicans present risks. Bush has drifted to the right, while McCain has made Republicans fashionable in some quarters.
