Looks like these guys aren't going to let go! Pretty soon this is going to find its way into other outlets coverage of the election.

And these two guys learned that Gov. Davis's REAL name isn't Gray Davis, it is Joseph Graham Davis! They call him Joe and Jo Jo. I love their show here in LA.

I will really MISS them when I move back to Texas. But we do have the excellent Chris Baker show there! And I can hear their show on the WWW, too!

Davis is such a chicken, he won't take the bait!

Hadn't heard about this one. :-)

John & Ken also said there was a new poll showing Davis up 40-32 over Simon. Which poll is this? I haven't seen it.

A Freerepublic search came up with this link here. Its a Public Policy Institute of California poll. The link came from a post regarding the amount of money the Simon campaign will be receiving from the national party, $1-$2 million.

Also, as of today, 9/25, John & Ken have raised their bribe offer to $50,000, if Davis will debate Simon on their show.

I want to know the origin of the name "Gray"

In the S.F. Bay Area there has been little coverage of Davis ducking the debates. Our coin-operated Governor is getting another big pass from the S.F. Comical.

With 50 mil in "joe-gray's pocket-- what's another $40k for charity?

Thursday, 9/26, Clear channel bumped their offer to $64,000 and each of the two broadcasters kicked in $10,000; Simon pledged $20,000 to a charity so the total now stands at $104,000 for Davis to debate Simon on the air.

While discussing Davis's pay to play shakedowns one of the guys exclaimed, "Do you realize that Davis is taking kickbacks of taxpayer money!"

I love it when Gray plays hard to get, that wench.
