California Governor Gray Davis signed a bill mandating paid family leave this week, just as a new survey of executives rated the state's "business climate" the worst in the nation. Consider these two more signs that Republican challenger Bill Simon still has a chance to beat Mr. Davis next month.

The illegal-alien and deceased vote will finish him.
Invest the money somewhere else where a Republican has an iota of a ghost of a wisp of a chance.

This is getting repetitive, so I think I'll repeat myself.
Thank you for your inspiring words, sir boris!
We here in California will take all the negativity you can offer! You know, about how the Democrats are so mean, about how there are so many illegals and so many dead Democrats, how the polling is all so corrupt, about how it's all over, and how Simon can't win...
...and stick it.
Meanwhile, I fully intend to send my mail-in-only-ballot-that-they-intend-to-flush by certified, return receipt mail and wander on down to the County Courthouse to photograph the nice people who promise to count it, and then I think I'll hang around for a while, just to breathe in a little atmosphere.
With no new businesses where are all the illegals going to work? It only takes 1 per leaf blower.
Last in business, dropping from 5th to 6th largest economy, and schools near the bottom. Davis is really doing a job on CA.
I hope Simon uses this in TV ads.
I live in California.
But I also live in Reality.
I really recommend that you pay a visit some time--they say travel widens one's vision.

Getting to be crunch time...and this weekend would be a good time to start to squeeze the lemon..IMHO, most Californians will NOT vote this year. Turnout will be DISMAL.
Therefore, our job is to:
1 - "Mobilize the base" of Republicans - to let them know that we CAN win this thing, if they will get out and vote, andA handful of hardcore FReeper revolutionaries can REALLY make a difference:2 - Demoralize the borderline Democrats - to get them to stay home in disgust, or vote for a third party.

Just one more reason not to live in California -- besides the ones so often mentioned: taxes, earthquakes, immigrants, cost of housing, loonies.
Luckily, the rest of the nation still has standards for elected officials, however low. :)
This is a GREAT article. Fabulous! It clearly lays out the case for Simon ... and against Davis.
However, some facts are wrong. It says that no Republican has won statewide since 1994. Both Bill Jones and Chuck Quackenbush won statewide in 1998. Just for clarification. You could say that no Republican has won the governor's race since 1994 ... but there has only been one governor's race since then.
Go Simon!
