Gov. Gray Davis returned to Silicon Valley on Tuesday to convene a delayed town hall meeting, but this close to the election, the evening was as much a campaign event as a conversation with constituents.

The ballroom at Hyatt Rickeys in Palo Alto was packed with union members carrying signs, as well as members of TechNet, which originally invited Davis to speak last month. Before Davis spoke, the union members demonstrated along El Camino Real, outshouting a small, but determined group of supporters of Republican gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon.

``I think a janitor is as important to our society as a CEO, maybe more so these days,'' he said.

See, that manure management degree can be valuable after all!

Let's get the shovels, it's gettin'a little deep here, Guv!

Before the town hall meeting, Davis attended a $10,000-a-couple fundraiser with Sen. Joe Lieberman, D-Conn., and Silicon Valley venture capitalist John Doerr, who introduced the governor.

The event was supposed to take place last month during a period when the governor was weighing bills passed during the summer. But Davis postponed the fundraiser, saying he was too busy.

At the time, Davis was fending off questions about the propriety of another fundraiser aimed at railroad builders who may benefit from a $9.9 billion high-speed rail bond measure the governor had just placed on the 2004 ballot. Davis canceled that event after e-mails from the host, Rod Diridon, were made public.

What a disgusting piece of , yaknow, he is... We have got to Dump Davi$

Screw the Unions and Screw Joe Davis!

Go Simon!

BTW, Did anyone happen to notice if Joe (Gray's real name) Davis was at the World Series game last night in San Fran?

Joe was at a couple of the games in Anahiem as a guest of Michael Eisner. Fox only showed a glance of him and he was never put on the "jumbo screen" at the park, for fear of being roundly booed (well...maybe).

A few are wondering if Joe Davis will be announced in San Francisco and what the crowd response will be (cheers I suspect).
