Californians need to ask themselves: Is the state better off today than it was four years ago?

This quote from Ronaldus Magnus couldn't be more effective than it is in Davis' case.

Simon need say nothing more from here 'till November.

Hummnnnnnnnnnn...... if Gray Davis has to run commercials to shore up his base in the summer, he's in BIG TROUBLE. That's something the last Field poll and the state's liberal media completely missed! I mean this is an incumbent Governor who had no major opposition in his party's primary, who has got millions sitting in the bank, and who has the support of the media up and down the state. So by all worlds, he should be coasting to reelection right now! The fact he has to run commercials to pitch to the base at a time when NO ONE is paying any attention tells Davis isn't even sure he's going to be re-elected. He shouldn't have to run any commercials whatsoever if Bill Simon wasn't a threat. It says something that in an overwhelmingly Rat and liberal state like California the sitting Rat Governor won't even release a poll confirming what the Field Poll supposedly said in April. Thus as it looks right now the only conclusion one can draw is the wheels are coming off the Davis' campaign in slow motion and moreover it looks like one heck of a long, hot summer.
