Don't run for the middle.

Simon is a photogenic and accomplished outsider with sterling GOP genes and a bracing primary-season message of limited government and individual liberty.

Davis has pay-to-play corruption, fiscal deficit, unemployment and failing schools. Assaulted by the Greens and beset by clamoring Democrat dependency groups, Davis is busily shoring up his left bank, hawking abortion and Marxist nostrums like a carny, signing spectacularly ill-advised legislation like last week's paid-leave abomination, and in general doling out favors like a Seventh Avenue whore.

Simon won a crushing victory, holding the Democrat-Lite opponent anointed by the GOP hierarchy to a single county in the vast and supposedly leftist state. California remains the State of Reagan, who slaughtered a powerful incumbent Democrat as an outsider running with a positive, limited-government message of liberty and constitutional fidelity.

Simon is likely to win. Davis is damaged goods and everybody knows it.

Simon won't do dirty tricks.

The answer: It's the base, stupid.

Scott has it right.

I hope Simon gets this message.

And, YES, we can win the governorship in California!

"How?" you ask, "With the Dems outnumbering us?"

Easy.

The Dems (meaning registered Democrats) in California don't like Davis.

If they have a low turnout, and the Republicans are energized and vote, victory will be ours (meaning everyone in California).

So, all you California Freepers, get out and vote, and get every other person you know to vote for Simon.

Great post...why can't they let him run as a conservative. That BS with the "gays" cost him plenty and gained nothing.

Go Simon!!

The base plus enough of the middle to get a plurality - easy say, somewhat harder do...

[heleny]

the group of voters who have either opted out of the major parties or out of registering altogether has grown almost three times as fast as the eligible population. ...
Why is the Silent Majority turned off by the major parties and even voting itself?

Part of the reason people register with no party, besides disenchantment with the two major parties, is that it affords more choice. Decline-to-state voters in California can vote in the primaries of one of most of the parties, and can vote for everything except party leaders (and perhaps the Presidential nominee). Essentially, one can change his party affiliation at each primary, up to the day of the election, without re-registering.
