Simon should get down in the trecnhes with Davis and slug it out. Davis strikes me as a lightweight with a powerful machine and a partisan press for backup. Simon needs to keep it personal and make Davis respond directly. Davis is so obviously sordid and sleazy on a personal level that Simon needs to directly confront him whenever possible. More debates are neccessary. Let the people watch Davis squirm as he responds to these allegations and attempts to deny them in person. Right now he's being shielded by cronies. There's got to be a way to draw him out and make him trip himself up publically.
Best of luck to our fellow conservatives and FReepers in California. I hope you folks can get out from under the corrupt socialist government that's ruining your state.
Davis strikes me as a lightweight with a powerful machine and a partisan press for backup. Davis is corrupt and unprincipled, but he doesn't strike me as a lightweight. He's a seasoned politico. And FWIW, I think Davis is a Vietnam combat veteran, unlike softy rich-boy Simon.
By contrast, Riordan was reported to be a self-made millionaire. Both Davis and Riordan have more "gravitas" than Simon, and it shows.
