As Hugh Hewitt said, abortion rights drive less than 2% of the electorate. Frankly, I doubt that number. Even if it is true in America at large, it is not in liberal-dominated states like California. I have made the case for how to respond to this issue in a manner that will add to Simon's constituency a number of times, but Russo-Marsh refuses to learn.
I think the key to the election is energizing the voters and making them excitied about the candidate. Simon is the best candidate the GOP has run for Governor or Senator in California in the last 10 years. People will get behind him just because of his personality.
