"Think of the shock waves" a win over Democratic Gov. Gray Davis"

Mr. Simon, just think of the "shock waves" over the people who want to vote for you if only you would campaign and realize you are running for Governor!!!! You had a lock on this independant's vote and I emphacize HAD because you won't come out and commit yourself. For crying out loud, you've had issues handed you on a silver platter! If you won't help yourself by real campaigning then why should anyone else help you? As far as I'm concerned, it is not enough for you to "claim" you're conservative nor does it matter that you wear the republicrat label because I don't vote for party labels since there is no difference between either one of you.


At this point in time, I will not be voting fore the office of Governor.

I'm sorry to hear this. What position has Simon not come out on? He has been on the right side of every important issue. The liberal media isn't reporting on his campaign activities, and he's been all over the state. We'll just have to wait until the campaign season kicks into high gear and Simon will go on tv and radio and sell himself and his ideas.

The fact is, it's too early now. People in the primary complained because Simon didn't go up on television in December (the message "VOTE FOR SIMON" between Jingle Bells and Silent Night). But he waited and won handily.

Don't make up your mind now. There is three and a half months until November 5th.

"At this point in time, I will not be voting fore the office of Governor."

Petulant and foolish. Gray Davis should send you a nice card.

Simon is having trouble getting traction, thanks to his inexperience in rough-and-tumble politics, and thanks in great part to the media. But there is no doubt he's the better candidate, with the better stand on the issues and the smarts necesary to drag California out of its tailspin, as another come-from-behind liberty-oriented Republican did in 1966.
