- Republican organizers say the one person holding back the
- choice of San Diego as the site of the party's 1992 convention
- is -- George Bush. The transplanted Texan is known to want to
- hold his coronation in Houston. But G.O.P. advisers contend
- that having the event in California could boost Bush's chances
- for carrying the state, which he won by a margin of just 3.5%
- in 1988. Thanks to its population boom, the Golden State will
- provide 54 of the 270 electoral votes needed to win the
- presidency in 1992.
