"has an activist Democratic wife and a campaign team that includes such longtime Democrats as
McGovern/Carter pollster Patrick Caddell and Dukakis campaign manager Susan Estrich."
That lineup ought to be enough for even the RINOS/moderates to vote against him.

Susan Estrich?
Not only is Dick a RINO, he's a stupid RINO.

Pat Caddell is not so bad anymore. He was among the first of the "independent Democrats" to call Gore on his attempts to steal the election.
Estrich, while reasonable, is also resolutely partisan.
Be Seeing You,

It's too bad that Simon and Jones couldn't work it out between themselvees and the weaker one drop out. It seems like everyone here on FR likes Simon, but I think that Jones' history of successful state-wide campaigning out to be worth something.

I will NEVER vote for that DIABLA. And if heaven forbid, he should win the primary I will be only too happy to help hasten his landslide loss come November.
To: goldstategop
I totally agree, GO SIMON!

SIMON bump

The Los Angeles Police Department used to be one of the finest in the nation and started it's slide to the sewer under Bradley, who Riordan supported, and Riordan continued it's slide to where it is now firmly entrenched in the sewer.
The creep shouldn't even be attractive to democraps.

The weaker candidate should drop out ... that would be Bill Jones.
While Jones has been elected to statewide office, he sure doesn't have much success campaigning. He BARELY won in 1998 over an unfunded Democrat for SOS. In addition, when he was Republican leader in 1991-92, he was the deciding vote for Pete Wilson's tax increase. And how many Assembly seats did we win when he was leader? Oh ... we lost three.
In addition, Jones has a dismal record of raising money. He can't even afford television right now!
I'm tired of career politicians who think they have a right to public office simply because they are there. I'm ready for a change, I'm ready for someone who has worked in the REAL world, who knows what families are up against, and has a compassionate soul with a hard-line business brain. That man is Bill Simon.

ROFLMAO

That was actually his third apology of the afternoon. During the debate, he said he was sorry he had given $1,000 to liberal Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters in an earlier election...
WHAT!!!
How could he POSSIBLY spin that as ANYTHING but reprehensible!!!
MAYBE he had to support Bradley to court HIS constituency, but Maxine Waters is ULTRA-left wing slime!!!
There can be no excuse for this DIABLO: "Democrat In All But Label Orientation."

If Riordan gets it, this will be a an "ain't a dime's worth of difference" race. Thus, this could provide a good opening for a third-party candidate. Perhaps the Libertarians should run Kurt Russell. He might actually win against these two jokers!
To: Austin Willard Wright
Something interesting; on NPR Morning Edition yesterday; the California early March 5 primary (which basically consisted of information I had known for months by reading FreeRepublic), there was an audio clip of Deukmajin (former Governor) blasting Riordan as someone "he has no respect for". I believe that the conservatives will go through with nominating Simon, the Califorina GOP is rather conservative in comparison to those in the East.
To: dalereed
Secretary of State Bill Jones, told a news conference that if Riordan becomes the GOP nominee, "I would not vote for him. I have no respect for the man." Oh man, yowza, hard hit!
Riordan clearly not the next Reagan, I wonder if Rove/Bush are having second thoughts at having recrutited Riordan in the first place.
