Ah, yes....the American Democratic party way!

Go Simon!

On his Tuesday or Wednesday radio show, Roger Hedgecock seemed to say something to the effect that Wesson removed Florez at the behest of Gray Davis. It makes sense, too, since Davis' political future was hurt more than anyone else's by the Oracle hearings.

Only after I read the article did I realize that the author meant Florez's party hailed the decision by Wesson to punish Florez.
