I laugh when people suggest that Simon thinks he can take down Barbra Boxer - Boxer will eat Simple Simon alive if he's stupid enough to try to fight her.

I agree about Simon, and ISSA would fare even more poorly against Boxer. He was polarizing before he jumped into the recall and his negatives must be through the roof now. The way to beat Boxer is run a likeable compassionate conservative; Californians are ready to vote against Boxer but they need an alternative who's competent, who doesn't "scare them", who smiles and is optimistic.
