Simon, a wealthy Los Angeles investment banker who has never sought elective office, denounces Davis as a corrupt and incompetent governor who has made the electricity crisis worse and driven the state into red ink because he is so preoccupied with raising money to further his political career. I think Simon has Davis nailed!

Davis with his 7% lead is supposed to be unbeatable by Simon. Jeb with an 8% lead is in a tight race! Very funny way to interpret the same facts!

In addition, California's initiative process, which often generates ballot propositions that overshadow candidate races, produced a humdrum lineup this year. I blame Ward Connerly for this. He got his Racial Privacy Initiative qualified, but engineered it so that it will appear on the 2004 ballot and not this one. If that initiative were present, you'd be seeing a lot more conservatives showing up at the polls, giving Simon a much better chance.

"My sense is that voters are completely disengaged to a degree that I've never seen," said veteran Democratic strategist Gale Kaufman. Shouldn't that be " DEMOCRAT voters are completely disengaged to a degree that I've never seen.."?

One of the big stories in the campaign is Gray Davis' inability to put Bill Simon away," Hoffenblum said.
Because, as most of us knew, Simon was a far, far better candidate than Riordan would have been, despite the spin about Davis selecting his opponent. Riordan was Riordan's worst enemy in the primary.

What will all these spinsters do after the election? A lot of them will be lost without a liebral soapbox to spout their tired crap from.
Any suggestions ;-?

"Even if God intervened and Bill Simon won, God intervened, and KO'd Rearend.
he'd have to deal with the same budget shortfall as Gray Davis.
Simon will not do as Davis, he'll do as Simon.
