The California Democratic Party held its state convention in
San Diego April 27-29, giving the party's 2008 presidential candidates
the opportunity to make their case in the Golden State. After
California moved its primary earlier to Feb. 5, 2008, the state
became an important staging ground for fund-raising and vote-collecting.
Convention attendees explain who they support and why.
