Can Mitt Romney Win California?

Bill Clinton once said, "It's about the economy stupid."  If that is true Barack Obama may want to think about California again.  On October 7 Drudge posted the following images and headlines.



Anotherc day, another record in CA...

Gas stations across state run out, shut down...

'What are they doing to us?'

Obama fundraiser with Katy Perry to snarl traffic...

Paying close to $6.00 a gallon for gas will hurt anyone.  Some things demand a change. On October 10, when Obama was losing ground dramatically a poll showed Obama dropping by 8% in California.  I'm not predicting Romney will win California, but politics leads to crazy things.  Obama is slipping in practically every state.  This has to be concerning.  With the economy fundamentally weak a large wave could materialize before election day.  What do you think?  Am I too optimistic? What states will surprise us on election night?
