In a state where Republican registration has cratered โ€” it now hovers at about 25 percent statewide โ€” Newsom has a far greater chance of defeating the leading Republican, John Cox, than Villaraigosa. So the lieutenant governor has aired advertisements highlighting Coxโ€™s conservative credentials for Republican voters to bolster his chances of finishing second.

 

Supporters of Villaraigosa, meanwhile, have promoted the candidacy of Republican Travis Allen in an effort to depress Coxโ€™s share of the primary vote โ€” and to help the former mayorโ€™s chances of gaining a spot on the November ballot.
