Hmm? This should be an interesting thread, Thanks.

[Sir Valentino]

Hey, Bill! We already *KNEW* Davis was a *DISASTER*.

The reason *YOU LOST* is because *YOU* are *ALSO* a *DISASTER*! That's why a *SEEMINGLY UNELECTABLE LOSER* like Davis got *REELECTED*!

Please *STEP ASIDE* and let a *REAL* Republican run!

[nickcarraway]

Why should Democrats attack Republican candidates when other Republicans will do it for them?

ATTENTION ALL POTENTIAL REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR: THIS IS THE TREATMENT YOU CAN EXPECT FR0M REPUBLICANS. THEY WILL EAT YOU ALIVE.

Especially if you are conservative.

So the message is: Stay away from the recall conservative Republicans. You are not wanted by the powers that be. And you will pay if you run!

[TheAngryClam]

If you knew anything about the politics of Mr. Cuffaro, you'd realize how stupid your comment about trying to keep conservatives out sounds.

However, it sounds like you're part of the "Simon Jonestown cult" he's referring to.

[Saundra Duffy]

I was afraid of this.

[EternalVigilance]

That is one deranged letter.

[TheAngryClam]

Welcome to the hell that is California politics.

[My2Cents]

This is all we need -- a loser trying to tell people who voted against him that he was right all along, and implying they were stupid and wrong not to vote for him. That's a winning appeal -- telling people they were stupid and wrong.

[TheAngryClam]

I agree. That's why Bill Simon needs to sit the recall out.

Bill Simon for Attorney General in 2006 is a race I would happily support if he doesn't run in the recall.

[goldstategop]

I do NOT want him to run. Who helped to re-elect Gray Davis? You guessed it - Bill Simon. If he had actually run on the issues he could have beaten Davis hands down. I'm still amazed he never once mentioned the two major issues any competent Republican candidate would have used during the fall campaign, Davis' record and California's impending economic meltdown. We didn't hear a single word on either of those subjects from Simon the entire fall campaign! And he still wants us to vote for him for Governor?? Puhleeaze. Only someone THAT inept could have set things up to the point where the Democrats hold all the statewide executive offices in California. Simon do us all a favor and stay home this year and leave the recall election up to a real candidate and political professionals. The California GOP is too important to be trusted to the likes of Simon again.

[TheAngryClam]

Two words: power crisis.

Never heard a peep about that.

[xm177e2]

Bill Simon’s campaign professionals are ready to unveil their new appeal to California voters with an “I told you so” themed media barrage and stump speech asking for a second chance in the upcoming recall election.

Yeah, this is gonna go over real well. </sarcasm>

Simon couldn't even beat Davis because HE'S AN EVEN BIGGER LOSER.

We need someone else... someone like Arnold.

Should be interesting , alright!

As someone who supported Simon, sorry, he had his chance and blew it. How he lost what should have been a cake walk is beyond me. Anyone that does run better be ready for the Davis and dem slime machine in full force.

I'll support ANY Republican on the ticket, while I think Arnold has a chance, I think there are some better real pols who should get their chance. It would be too funny if this turns in to a Meathead-VS-The Terminator contest.

The only downside is that whoever wins will inherit some bad times ahead and have to make some tough decisions. If the person that wins is a republican, expect the sleazy dems and their willing media acomplices to blame everything on the new Governor conveniently forgetting who's really to blame.

[old school]

One needn't drink the Kool-Aid to want Davis gone. However, neither the republican elite in Washington, nor the California republican party supported Simon in the manner that they would have, had he been "their" chosen candidate. The fact is, that he almost won without their support. Some of us won't drink from either batch, whatever the partisan flavor! The Governor governs the political affairs of all Californians, not just republicans and democrats. Quite frankly, it would suffice to simply see Davis gone!

[EternalVigilance]

Arnold may be the Terminator in the movies, but he also believes its okay to terminate babies.

Ahnuld does not deserve the support of any true conservative.

[dalereed]

I wouldn't bote for liberal Arnold if he was the only "republican" on the ballot!

[EternalVigilance]

Simon do us all a favor and stay home this year and leave the recall election up to a real candidate and political professionals.

Such as?
