And because Davis has $30 million in his war chest and control of the state political machinery. The WT editorial sounds like a friendly, constructive chastisement to me.

I said it several months ago in here: Gray Davis is going to snatch victory from the jaws of abysmal mismanagement, both his own and his opponent's, after Simon utterly folds -- as Republicans usually fold -- and will win re-election by no more than 5 percentage points.

And, no, I don't like it.

Republicans in California are in disarray. Consider the president's go-to guy, Gerald Parsky. He feuds with Party Chairman Shawn Steel over party reorganization.

Simon's camp does have some problems, not surprisingly. But the above, to me, is the main problem. Parsky should have been canned long ago.

What this criticism (and I did find it to be constructive) fails to mention, as every media outlet has, is that even with all the bad news Simon has led in 8 of 10 polls and Grayout's disapproval ratings are constantly over 50%. The naysaying started before the primary was even over, and it will continue unabated until November. But Simon can still win. Will he? I dunno.

I agree.

I agree. This sounds like a friendly, constructive criticism of the Simon campaign. There is no real criticism of Simon himself.
