And for that he gets 38% in the polls! Bwahahahahahahahaha!
Simon still has time to improve his standing with voters, though time is indeed running out. Davis has no such luxury. He's well known, and he's incredibly disliked. These "voters" polled here will not be flocking to pull the lever for him. Simon just needs to be close in the polls to win.
Oh, wait! Despite all the whining, in spite of all the hysteria of his pending and overwhelming defeat, SIMON IS CLOSE IN THE POLLS. And it's a Field Poll at that. With margin of error factored in, this poll actually shows a dead heat. (Though I do believe Davis is leading, but not by much.) It should also be noted that the Field Poll was the only poll over the summer to show Davis leading, while 7-8 other polls showed Simon leading.
His biggest problem, not surprisingly, is going to be convincing the Pubbies and conservatives - who have been played like a fiddle by Davis and his goons - that Simon can still definitely win this thing.
I really do hope you can throw these words in my face in November, and say I told you so, but I doubt it. A win by Davis, no matter how small the margin, would prove the ineptitude of the GOP and its voters in CA, because they picked perhaps the only person in CA who could lose to Gray Davis.
Yep. Not bad considering. I do hope Simon has a huge GOTV machine underway as you know Davis does--it's his only chance...
