Nice of him to think of doing those three things during the general election and save us all this recall trouble.

Simon sucks. Mark my words, anything he does in the recall will be more of the same.

And I'm a Republican activist too.

I don't understand the venom. Simon took on an $85 million attack from Davis and narrowly lost. This in a state where the Democrats outnumber Republicans.

He did screw up in taking on some of Richard Riordan's staff after the primary... ultimately, some of those liberals ended up working to undermine him in the general election. Most noteably, the one who filled out a Log Jammin Republican survey for him and sent it to the SF Chronicle claiming that Simon would support homosexual marriage.

I am a huge Tom McClintock fan but unfortunately, the Republican party will never support Tom for governor. He is too decisive, conservative, and independent. He is tailor made for the Controllership though and almost won it last time without the party's assistance. He should try again.

BTW: I doubt the Republican party execs will support Simon either, but the grassroots will and he has the money and name recognition to pull off a win in a divided election.

Remember, if the election happens in November, it will be primarily conservatives. The most conservative candidate with money and name recognition wins. That is Simon.
