You are absolutely right. Turn-out IS everything. That's why we have to work harder and smarter than the Democrats. Our people hate Davis more than their people LIKE him. Remember that.
Simon is an excellent candidate with the right ideas (conservative ones!)
Go Simon! Dump Davis!
Not at all, it has been cold, and the Sun was very absent for several days till today!
Am I wearing out your receiver with my pinging ?
I really have not been on for a while (computer giving me trouble ) but got all agitated when I read about this poll!
Among those with a high school education or less the race is tied, but with each step up on the education ladder Davis' preference margin over Simon grows.
This blows my mind! Why??
I have MS plus and I sure don't think Davis is worth anything!
Of course my studies were in the hard sciences which require the use of deductive logic to establish cause and effect!
I have a Bachelors in Science, a Masters in Engineering and an MBA. My wife, a committed Democrat has a Bachlor of Arts and a Masters in Education. Just remember your days on campus, there were a lot more liberal arts majors than science majors.
I found that statement, just plane sad that the more "eduction/time in school," the more folks want to vote for Davis...ugh
But then again, the extremely small sample and lack of targeting authentically likely voters is likely to have something to do with this. Remember, Republicans are energized over this election but Democrats are apathetic at best. I think this gives Simon a much better chance than that poll implies.

We have to help get the word out that Simon wants to raise the homeowner's exemption from $7,000 to either $25,000 or $60,000. Does anyone know which it is?
Homeowners are smart enough to manage their money carefully. Once homeowners see how much they will save with a higher, up-to-date exemption, they might be more convinced to support Simon.
Of course, Simon needs to advertise himself more, too.
Numbers which were undoubtedly affected by the bogus premature Florida call for Gore. Bush/Cheney were consistently within 5-6 points of Go/Lie leading up to the election. Which explains why Bush/Cheney spent so much time there (which unfortunately almost cost them the election when the drunk driving report gave almost all the swing states to Gore.)
Simon's got a very real shot at winning this thing.
Yes, very powerful statements on your part. These statements would be effective if the polls didn't show the exact opposite. Simon leads in 4 of 5 polls. And this poll shows voters on Simon's side of the tax debate. Other than that, you're right on the mark. [yawn]
Think so, gc?
For your sake, I hope this all turns out you're way.
I won't eeeeeeven bring up the political track record of your fellow Californians over the past...say, 10 years, either.
That wouldn't be Hoyle to the Hopesters, huh. {g}
But lookit: in the advent the *unthinkable* were to happen?
That might be an omen.
One contrued by some as the shrill voice of a fat lady singing loud-'n-clear.
~By some.
...eh?
I thought that the Democratic party had a nice run through of their vote rigging procedures recently in the San Francisco election. Thing were so obviously mismanaged that the democrats had to publicly apologize for bad security & procedures(Demo-speak for not hiding the truth deeply enough). It was clear that ballots and ballot boxes stuffed with votes (favoring one side or the other) could appear and disappear at the will of the democratic party leadership.
DUMP Davis!
There was a feeble attempt a few years back to verify voter registration at the polls by showing a valid ID, but the illegal-immigrant activists screamed "racism" and that was the end of that.
