Reasons for Rom-timism in California

Word from Middle Cheese, my source from 2004 now affiliated with Team Romney:

I’ve become more optimistic in the past 24-48 hours about Romney's chances in California.

Multiple data sources, including both public and internal polling, now show a clear trend for Mitt, and possibly a very sharp one. Both national and local conservative talk radio bashing McCain is have an impact on California GOP primary voters, who tend to be very conservative. I think I’m comfortable saying now that he could win about 2/3 of the districts in California, which would also give him the bonus delegates and the narrative of winning the state. I didn’t think this was likely at all 24-48 hours ago.

He also notes a big crowd at the Romney event in Long Beach.

Body language predicted the last two elections.
When Gore spoke, Bush was attentive and faced him. When Bush spoke, Gore was not.
When I last saw McCain and Romney, when McCain spoke, Romney was attentive and faced him. When Romney spoke, McCain was not attentive.
What does this indicate?
Statesmanship!
