Key word: "if."
Simon can't get off the dime against a pathetically weak Democrat with tons of baggage. That implies that Simon has some huge problems of his own. Your "if" is looking like a really long shot.
And if Bush throws his full support to Simon and Simon proceeds to lose, it costs the Bush Administration a lot.
Excuse me? Are you a bitter Riordan-Parsky person who is upset Simon won? You are speaking falsehoods and defaming Bill Simon in the process.
For your edification:
FIRST STRIKE: After five days of "positive" ads, Gov. Gray Davis unleashed the first in what will likely be a series of attack ads on Republican opponent Bill Simon -- and with good reason.
There's a new poll floating around Sacramento that shows the embattled Davis trailing Simon by a whopping eight points.
The poll -- which was of likely voters and paid for by the Democratic- friendly Service Employees International Union -- found newcomer Simon at 42 percent to Davis' 34 percent. Green Party candidate Peter Camejo came in with 5 percent.
But, as with other recent statewide polls, the real news is on Davis' job performance numbers.
They are in the toilet.
