Addendum, since some mention: California has had early primaries before. The vote has bounced around five times since 1992, including once in February near the very start. Same old, same old. — PolitiTweet.org

The bottom line, history suggests, is the best way to win the California primary is by doing well, eg, winning in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina or Nevada. It may pain the political intelligentsia in LA+ SF, Silicon Valley, San Diego+Sacramento to hear that. C'est la guerre. — PolitiTweet.org

Again, the state is too big and populous, too spread out, too decentralized, it's politics too back-burner to people’s lives for all but the longest-tenured politician (we’re talking decades) to develop that kind of name recognition and/or voter affinity. — PolitiTweet.org

n 1992, as the state's former governor, Brown finished second behind Arkansas Gov. Bill Clinton in a go-through-the-motions primary after Clinton had the nomination locked up. There is no favorite-son/daughter advantage here in California. — PolitiTweet.org

Also, the notion that California was Harris' to lose was never going to hunt, outside the campaign spin room. As noted in this space: In 1980, Gov. Jerry Brown finished a distant third in the California primary, behind then-President Carter and Massachusetts Sen Kennedy — PolitiTweet.org
