Maybe there's a Viagra commercial in Bill Jones' future. He has become, after all, California's Bob Dole. Like the longtime U.S. senator who ran for president in 1996, Jones is the decent, plain-spoken man from the heartland who dedicated his life to public service and who now is trying to take that last step up to the state's most important office.

Thank you. We now return you to your regular postings.
A would-be Reagan is better than a would-be Dole.
Will Bill Simon be the conservative's "Prince Charming"? Or, will he be California's borish 'Prince Charles'?
I really liked all 3 candidates in Debate 1. And Simon was definitly a fresh face, and great/innocent presence to the political scene. (missed #2) By Debate 3, - Jones.
About two weeks ago, Simon looked 'borish' in his ads. In the last couple of days, he looks interesting in the ads, BUT, is anybody else getting really tired of seeing NY moderate RUDY's 'mug' in the Simon Ads? Come on, the Yankess lost, and I don't want to see Rudy all over California the next four years, or at the Inaguration... I've got Rudy fatique, - big time!
(On Hugh Hewitt, - Campbell said...) He is comparing Bill Simon in 2002 to Ronald Reagan in 1966 = Fresh Face to California politics. I do appreciate that as a fresh face, Simon DID choose a Conservative course/agenda!
However: - 1. Wasn't Reagan a resident of Calif. for much more than a mere 10 Years? - 2. Weren't Reagan's Calif. conservative foundation/credentials very solid? - 3. Did Reagan have to drag some NY Rockefeller type around to get people's attention?
Of course, Jones has had all these many years ... and... what?... ...nobody knows who he is, or what he stands for..? Or, maybe the informed Dem socialists (like those at the Sac Bee) know exactly what he stands for, and maybe he is the one they don't want as Governor.
JONES: Lacking charisma - Big Deal! And he did quite well during/ending Debate 3, - Happy Valentines Day..! That & other things, was good enough for me.
* who voted for the biggest tax increase in state history to help balance the budget in 1991. I don't know the details, but when the Dems push bloated budgets, they kind of get their way.
Jones Negative: (Not presenting) a coherent vision for the future. Of course, what political leader has? * Jones & McCain - oh, really? * He would stay the course with the state's new curriculum. ??
Jones Positive: * Jones has at times offered glimpses of a positive campaign, ... * pro-business but not aggressively anti-labor. * ...environment & ...coastline or its natural resources. * knows his way around the Capitol without a map. * has an eye toward the future.
Maybe he should have presented himself that way to the voters VS. While I have G. G Davis fatigue, I also have maximum RUDY fatigue when I comes to the moderate from NY telling us who is best, and how to vote. In some ads, Simon has energy, in others... I've had enough already.
In this primary election, I'm voting the Dem ballot. I would like to encourage Democrats to rally around the name of ** Chuck Pineda, Jr. ** for Governor!
Lizy Dole is NC's Bob Dole
For the March 5th Primary Election: DEMOCRATS! in California
Democrats are encouraged to say NO! to Gray Davis. The name ** Chuck Pineda, Jr. ** is on the Democrat ballot for Governor, and Democrat voters need to rally around his name as a way to say NO! to Gov. Gray Davis. It is time for Democrats to work for restoration and reform in the Democratic Party!
* Encouraging Democrats to Say NO! to G.G Davis on March 5th!
DEMOCRATS: VOTE ** Chuck Pineda, Jr. ** for Governor! *
I'm one of them.
