Californians can't get enough of us

By Wally Edge

We already know that Californians are streaming across the border to volunteer in this year's presidential campaign. But it's not just the grassroots taking notice. The San Francisco Chronicle is paying attention, too, with a write-up on the impact Nevada will have on this year's race -- and particularly the growing influence of Latino voters.
