As Super Tuesday fast approaches, California is seeing an unprecedented level of organizing from leading presidential candidates. In fact, Clinton, Edwards and Obama will all be in California today despite the Nevada caucus being just two days away. Regardless of candidate, it provides an exciting springboard for activists throughout the state to gain the tools for turning politics to the progressive for elections to come.

But to capitalize on all of that, progressives need to make their voices heard. The new nomination schedule has changed the game in ways we don't yet fully know, but Rick Jacobs dives into it pretty well at Huffington Post.

What it all boils down to is that Californians are in an unprecedented position to leverage investment of time, attention and infrastructure into lasting gains at all levels of politics. This is but a small corner of that broader effort, but a corner that can help progressives find their collective voice- or at least learn how to play nicely with each other.

Rick Jacobs' wiser words on the flip.

A few hundred votes and just a few hours.

That's all that separates Barack Obama from John Edwards in the Courage Campaign's online poll of progressives in California. Meanwhile, Senator Hillary Clinton and Representative Dennis Kucinich are fighting it out for third place.

Time is running out to vote. Or to tell your friends to vote for your favorite candidate. The PickYourPresident.org poll closes at 5 p.m. Pacific Time on Friday. After the results are confirmed, the Courage Campaign will announce the winner, just hours before Nevada voters caucus together on Saturday.

Your vote and the votes of your friends could determine the final outcome of this poll of California progressives. If you haven't already voted, please vote now and forward this link to your friends, family and neighbors:
