The California Majority Report has a post from former Assembly Majority Leader Dario Frommer about how much of California’s Democratic National Convention delegation might not get to see Barack Obama accept the party’s nomination next week.

They’d thought it would be easy, what with the candidate’s acceptance speech being moved from Pepsi Center (the convention site) to the 75,000-seat Invesco Field.

But California with 551 delegates and 1500 traveling credentialed attendees and their families got just 300 tickets for the Invesco event — the same allocation as Missouri with 88 delegates. California Democratic Party leaders have tried to no avail to get the Obama camp to release more passes. The Obama camp in turn, is directing California convention goers to contact the CDP. Some party activists view the paltry allocation of party tickets as a slap in the face to California which voted overwhelmingly for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton in the February primary election and where Obama holds a commanding lead over John McCain.

Let’s hope the Obama campaign isn’t playing us like that, not so soon after California once again has proved itself to be a Democratic ATM. Let’s just see ‘em try to raise $7.8 million in one night in Kansas City.

UPDATE @ 5:05 P.M.: Let it be noted both that Dario Frommer endorsed Hillary Clinton, and that the gentlemen — such as Steve Maviglio, Roger Salazar and Jason Kinney — who publish the California Majority Report have been Clinton supporters as well. And let it also be noted that the Obama campaign has not yet answered my query about this.

UPDATE @ 5:16 P.M.: Maybe they won’t need so many tickets after all. At least 26 California delegates now appear unlikely to attend the convention: the hobbled Dianne Feinstein, plus 25 state Senate and Assembly members whose leaders are warning them not to leave town until a budget is passed.
