I agree. Simon isn't a politician, but I don't want another politician. We had politicians with both Gray Davis and liberal Republican Pete Wilson. Look where Gray Davis has gotten us !?!?!
Simon is more like George W. He is from a political family, but wasn't overtly political himself, just running the family business, working in the private sector, and then something happens in their life and they believe they could do more good as Governor. George W. was great for Texas, and he is a wonderful president for the most part. Simon will be great for California, and it will no longer be business as usual.
I think the most important thing about Simon to remember is that he is a moral and ethical man. We might not agree with him 100% of the time on every issue, but I believe that he is thoughtful and reasoned and does consider the moral and ethical implications of his decisions. He is not a "ME FIRST" person, as shown through his charities.
Go Simon!
