Well, that's very interesting. I'm guessing a lot of you posters are from California, as am I. The airwaves are positively inundated with Davis ads telling about how horrible Riordan is because he gave to pro-life causes, backed Bork for the SCOTUS (because, oh gosh, he wanted to overturn Roe v Wade), etc. etc. You see this ad about every five minutes. It is disgusting, no matter what you think of Riordan. It also insults women, as if that is the only issue they would vote on. Davis has been the worst governor in modern times (excluding Jerry Brown). I am voting for Simon, but you can bet that if this is how Davis attacks Riordan, he'll do it in spades for Simon. Simon better have a really good campaign based not only on his pro-life views, but on all the fiscal mismanagement and Democrat tyranny this state has suffered under one-party rule for decades. If Riordan wins in the primary, I will vote for him. Anyone is better than Davis. I would vote Libertarian except for their insane view on open-borders and Browne's opposition to the war. Open borders are responsible for California's being overrun with illegal migrants, for being under the thumb of the Democrats (who buy votes from immigrants with their give-aways), and for the Arab-Muslim scum who are right now in this country trying to kill every last one of us.

It will be hard for Davis to sink Simon on abortion. First, Simon comes across as a compassionate person, and being pro-life isn't a negative unless you're a "hard" person like Lungren.

Second, Simon is the only Republican candidate who has come out with sound policy ideas, knowing that as the underdog, he had better make up his name ID deficit with sound, smart, common sense solutions. His position papers on transportation and education and the budget are a good start ... detailed enough to know that he has given the issue thought and come up with practical solutions, but not so filled with bureaucratic garbage that they are undecipherable.

If Davis tries to turn the election on abortion, he'll be in for the shock of his life. Davis has a lot of baggage. When Bill Simon says, "Where were you Governor in 2000 when experts foretold of the energy crisis?" the voters won't look kindly on a Davis who answers, "I am pro-choice and my opponent is anti-choice." People are going to want answers, and Davis doesn't have them.

We all have to work hard for Simon now, and after March 5.
