Simon's broken the 30% barrier! With Jones sucking away some desparately needed support, Riordan wins. With that support, conservatives can beat Riordan. Thus the answer is clear:

BILL JONES MUST DROP OUT NOW!

Call his campaign office at (916) 349-2002 and urge him to drop out for the good of the GOP and conservatives. Be polite, since it's just not his time. I even left them my contact info for a future senate run, and offered to donate money, but I told them that this was on the condition that he withdraws from the race within a week. If everyone else does too, all of us win- we get a real conservative and alternative to RINO Riordan and Davis, and we have someone ready to start a 2004 senate campaign. This must happen soon. Let's get to work, freepers!

If were going to lose, we might as well do it with a Conservative instead of selling out our principles for tricky dick riordan. Go Simon.

Much of Dickie Pooh's support is soft. He hasn't even broken the 50% barrier, which is not a good sign for someone who supposedly has the nomination all wrapped up. Bill Simon is now in the double digits and with two weeks before primary day his poll numbers are likely to only go up. And although I'm not a betting man, the odds are he's likely to win a low turnout primary handily. The chances are good Bill Jones will have dropped out sometime before primary day if his numbers haven't budged by the the middle of next week.

Simon has far more support than what this poll indicates. IMO he's way above 30%. This poll was probably conducted among Davis staff members.

Now if Jones would fricking get outta the race that 16% would go to Simon!

I know, I've seen them. I work for his campaign and I watched the party people at the convention. It was like a race between Jones and Simon. All of Riordan's people look like he hired them. But we have to stick with the "official" numbers, after all.

If Rear-dan gets the nomination, Davis will get 70% of the vote in November, as conservatives sit out the election.

Yep! The only support Riordan has is from the liberal media. I hope he gets his head handed to him in the primary. If he's the GOP nominee, I encourage all conservative Californians to get the hell outta dodge and let the Golden state fall into the Pacific.

Conservatives will sit out the election if that happens. Count me among them.

Hell, some conservatives will probably vote for Davis simply to spite Riordan.

Some of Riordan's proposals are even more fascist than Davis'.....

These trial heat numbers are very, very bad for Davis. He is virtually tied with all Republican candidates. A Democrat incumbant in a Democrat state 10 months before the general election should be way ahead at this point. Take heart, California pubbies!

Riordan is too old to be dabbling in public office. The man is 70-something years old he needs to be put out to pasture somewhere. He doesn't have support from the right and the left will double-cross him come November. Obviously, there is some type of agenda at work here.

Time for Simon to cut a deal with Jones! Jones drops out, Riordan doesn't have a chance.

NRA has endorsed Jones. GOA has endorsed Simon. Both candidates sound fine to me. However, Riordan is a nightmare and yet he may capture this election due to splitting of conservative vote. Were I a resident of Kali, not sure which one gets my vote. Both Simon and Jones sound like they would do a good job.

Bill Jones never gave a penny to "Gay" Davis during the '98 governor's race. Bill Simon and Riordan did. In addition, Bill Simon didn't bother voting in three out of the last five GOP primaries. These are two issues which are hard for me to swallow. Go Jones! For victory & freedom!!!

Oh, it's hard to swallow not voting in three out of five primaries, is it? How about Jones betraying his word and ditching Bush when he needed his support most (after losing the NH primary to McCain)? Jones is simply an opportunist.
