Butterfly wings beat California politics in 2004 race
George Will assesses how California voters in the Republican primary could reshuffle the 2004 presidential contest. Arnold Schwarzenegger backs Bill Jones while Rosario Marin, a former U.S. treasurer and Huntington Park mayor, looms as a Latino ally for Bush. Marin’s ascent could reshape Latino and women’s votes, potentially putting California’s 55 electoral votes in play as Prop 57 and 58 shape the state budget and Schwarzenegger’s governorship hinges on bond measures.
