Angelides Scores at Convention

The fight is still one between Angelides and Westley. Angelides has a huge advantage due to the fact that on Saturday 4/29/06, he received a huge pre-primary endorsement from party conference delegates. According to the Sacramento Bureau, Angelides received more than 67 % of the vote from the 1,900 Democratic convention delegates. However the downfall is that Westley was recently a step ahead of Angelides in t.v and commercial advertisements. This was due to the fact that Angelides was trying to save money for the last following weeks of the election. This somewhat put Westley a step ahead in the public eye. According to a Los Angeles Times poll, on Saturday Westly was beating Angelides 33 percent to 20 percent among likely Democratic primary voters, although 45 percent remained undecided. It was the third poll to show Westly ahead.However, we need to keep in mind that 45% is a big number that could possibly be in Angelides favor. According to House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-San Francisco, who has endorsed Angelides, she believes that "the race is wide open." If Angelides can think of a way to attack Westley on television, this election will most definitely be in his favor once again.
