I'd rather see the power go out during the debates. LOL! That would be TOO funny. But remember, Davis will keep the power on at all COST ... literally. Why do you think our children will be paying for the lights we use today?

The end result is that as doggedly as Davis worked to help Simon win the primary, he now unwittingly contributes as much to the possibility of a Simon upset in November. Shoot, at this point, I'd consider Davis winning to be an upset.

Simon has led in five of six polls I've seen - of course only the outlying Davis lead is the one talked about.I heard an interview with Simon over the weekend. He says their internal polling still shows him with a lead. Which is completely believable to me.
To: John Jorsett
I, too, believe Simon's got a slight lead, but still within the margin of error. Certainly nothing to get cocky about, especially when facing that huge warchest Davis has. But it does make one wonder why all these naysayers are so convinced Simon can't win. :-)

The naysayers think that Simon can't win because he doesn't fit their mold of what a "winning" Republican should think.
The political pundits do not want to admit that the California electorate is not the liberal wack job the rest of the country thinks we are. Yes, California tends to be liberal, but there are definite conservative streaks that political power brokers on the left tend to ignore ... like Prop. 13; the fact that we fight taxes; the overwhelming passage of Prop. 22 (no gay marriage); etc., etc.
Yes, California is weird. Jekell and Hyde. We are wacky, but it all sort of makes sense when you live here and deal with these people on a regular basis.
Until the split personality drives you from the state ... !

They think he's incompetent for his bungling of the energy crisis and the budget, and sleazy in the way he unabashedly doles out political favors for campaign funds. I think this says it all. This will be the message of this campaign. More importantly, these are impressions that he cannot change no matter how many ads he runs.
To: Coop
But the ad's tagline -- "Bill Simon: If he can't run an S&L, how can he run California?" -- only stands to hurt Davis by virtue of the inevitable question it raises: If Davis can't run California, how can he run California?I thought the same thing when I first saw the Davis ad
the Davis camp are fools to these type attack ads
To: dcam
This needs to be a bumper sticker
If Davis can't run California..
How can he run California?
Vote SimonBoy your right it could become a political classic

Good article. On spot except for the cheap shot at Nixon, who was very "able." And who's "dishonesty" was motivated by a mis-guided sense of patriotism and not money. I'd take Nixon over Davis any day of the week.
