The Contra Costa Times (which tepidly endorsed Gray Davis today) ran six half pages of letters to the editor in their Sunday supplement "Perspectives" today. There were nine anti-Davis letters, and no pro-Davis letters.

This is just a straw in the wind, but wouldn't you think that if there were any pro-Davis letters to print, they would have printed them?

There are no "hot" initiatives this year in California. Neither of our senate seats is up for grabs. The governor's race is the top of the ticket, the big draw. But even in this Democrat state, no one wants to vote for the incumbent Democrat governor. I have yet to see a Gray Davis bumper sticker.

I wish I could predict confidently that Simon is going to win, but I can't. And the reason I can't is that I'm not sure every Republican in the state is going to take Simon's chances seriously enough to go to the polls and vote.

Bush got over 4.5 million votes in California in 2000. That number will win it for Simon in 2002 because of lower turnout.

Gray Davis can be beaten. But it's up to us.

How lame is it when a newspaper endorses Joe Davis? For what? For being a Democrat? That's all there is, folks.

what was the number, per some estimates , something like 8 million of 22 million eligible voters will show up.

Turn-Out is Paramount!
