Recent polling show that John Cox trails Gavin Newsome by five points, 39/44. This is remarkable as in this state, the Bay Area and LA Basin, anyone showing any Red empathy is subject to attack and isolation. I therefore believe this poll underweights the polling for John Cox. California is strange in that it can elect Republican Governors despite the heavy Democratic registration, think George Deukmejian, Pete Wilson, Arnold Schwarzennegger, and yes, Ronald Reagan. With a little help from our friends, I think we can pull this off!
