McCain Backers Hard to Find at Calif. State GOP Party

I'm at the California state GOP party. The room is full, but the wide majority of the party faithful here are Mitt Romney supporters. Romney's son Matt received thunderous applause and rallying cries when he showed up earlier in the evening. Matt Romney is a commercial real estate broker in San Diego.

It is a bit hard to find a McCain supporter here. I did talk with a McCain campaign worker feverishly trying to hand out McCain stickers. Despite the constant "no thanks" from the crowd, she didn't stop smiling. Maybe that's because McCain did so well in the state. About 9:30 tonight, GOP organizers finally turned the mike over to "Team McCain." When the campaign rep took the stage, he told the mildly cheering crowd that he felt like he was behind enemy lines.
