Too much "conventional wisdom" at work on the part of Carl Rove.
I'll say it again... "Nothing has power like that of an idea whose time has come!" (can't remember who said it first and don't care, cause it will always be true)
Would someone please get ahold of Sal Russo and get him to find someone to better coach Simon on his hand gestures? I know Sal understands how important theatrics are in CA after his successes with Reagan.
I shouldn't say this, cause I sure hope he wins, but Simon reminds me of Dana Carvey imitating George Herbert Walker Bush! At times, though, I see flashes of Reagan, too.
