In West Hollywood, Republican gubernatorial candidate Richard Riordan tells a gay and lesbian group that he might support the kind of same-sex unions legalized in Vermont.

I am voting for Bill Simon. All Republicans need to come out on March 5th and vote for Bill Simon

Can't be said enough !!!!! Riordan is and will be a disaster for Republicans and California.

If Riordan wins, any conservative that votes for him is an utter fool. He's so bad he makes a liberal like Mayor Rudy look conservative and he is far from it. The standards just sink lower and lower because the Republicans realize many in the base are stupid enough to think a far-left Republican winning is victory. It's not. Riordan would be worse than Gray Davis.
