WELL BEFORE CALIFORNIANS GET A CHANCE TO MAKE THEIR wishes known in their June 2 primary, President Bush may have a majority of his party's delegates locked up. So why does PAT BUCHANAN press on? He has said he is fighting for the soul of the party. By taking the ideological battle to California, Buchanan also hopes for a shoot-out with Governor Pete Wilson, a moderate whom he may face in a 1996 presidential bid. But most important of all are those restless California conservatives. They are the stuff of a dream mailing list -- and Buchanan is determined to sign them up for his own.
