CA-Rasmussen: Romney wins comfortably

[Likely Voter]

I'll have to look at the delegate tracker - California could be the state that pushes Romney over the top, but I'm not sure.

CA is also on the same day as NJ (WTA), SD, NM and MT and a week before UT (WTA). So yes it is unlikely Romney can wrap things up before CA. I have said before that Romney will probably wrap this thing up in CA, but he might still need those 40 in UT (which are a given).

If Santorum's people were smart (which I doubt) they would already be plotting their CA strategy. Romney's long slog strategy is relying on a big haul of delegates out of CA to get to 1144. But Rick can do well in a number of CDs if he campaigns smartly. If Rick can keep Mitt from getting more than 100 delegates out of CA it could make a difference.
