Frenzied 24 hours of campaigning in California/ Sarah Montes

In the final hours leading up to Super Tuesday, campaign efforts have increased dramatically in California. The high campaign activity is due to the closeness of the race. Bill Clinton has been all over the state in support of his wife Hillary. He held a town hall meeting with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom at the Ferry building in San Francisco last night. While Obama’s campaign a held a reunion of the surviving members of the Grateful Dead at an event titled "Deadheads for Obama." Which took place in the bay area. The GOP candidates were also really busy during the last 24 hours making last minute appearances in efforts to pick up delegates before Super Tuesday. The GOP race has also gotten tighter in California A Field Poll of state voters through Friday showed McCain leading by 8 points, but some of the latest polls suggest that his lead has been softening while Mitt Romney seems to be closing the gap.

Candidates have been doing all they can in efforts to get as many California votes as possible.
