Edwards looks to California

With California expected to be a significant battleground for presidential politics Feb. 5, campaign managers for former Sen. John Edwards said Monday they are hopeful his message will win out over money. Daily News.

The state is so big and the costs so high to run an effective campaign, Edwards campaign manager Joe Trippi said, that he believes no candidate will be able to spend what is normally needed to run an effective television ad campaign.

"You could easily spend $25 million on California alone and it's one of 22 states in play on Super Duper Tuesday," Trippi said. "We don't believe it's possible for even the well-funded campaigns to do that."
