Less than one week after beginning a new general election ad touting his own record, Gov. Gray Davis is taking to the airwaves in an effort to do damage to his GOP opponent, Bill Simon. Following is the text of the ad and an analysis by Bee Political Editor Amy Chance.

Some of the liberal media's articles and editorials attacking Davis this past month or two have been so devastating, you have to wonder if they haven't decided to toss him off the back of the sleigh. It seems to me that it's more than just a plot to get all the bad news out early.
(His web site is worth looking at, if nothing else because it's about as inspiring as the man himself.)
That being said, most of the S&L industry went bust at about the same time, and it's not at all surprising that some honest operators went down. I seem to remember one of the best-managed thrifts (I think it was Glendale Federal) was tossed to the wolves due to this same change, and I believe they did win their suit against the government.

Before I read the contents of the article, I thought it would be even more smear against Simon because of the title. Many regular people will not read beyond the titles of articles in which they're not interested, so the SacBee still helps Davis somewhat.
I, too, was surprised by the "balanced and fair" reporting of the Sacramento Bee.
However, while it would be nice to think that the liberal media would dump Davis because of his obvious corruption, methinks that would be a lot of wishful thinking. The liberal media would NEVER want a pro-life conservative in office like Bill Simon. While Bill Simon is a businessman, he is also a Christian (though he doesn't "wear it on his sleeve", so to speak). He has made emphatic statements about the culture of life, against gay marriage, and for gun ownership. I think the liberal media would much rather have Davis -- corruption included.
I think the media is "trying" to be fair now when the public isn't paying attention to the election, and they'll jam Simon after Labor Day.
Go Simon!
Simple Simon or Doofus Davis
What the 'Left' is hoping the voters see as their 'choice' in November?
We can't let that happen. The real 'choice' is between 'Sensible and Super' SIMON and 'Dense and Devious' Doofus.
California: Davis has a problem -Davis turns off voters, lets Simon make it into a real race
Gray Davis is one to talk about "mismanagement". What has his incompetence cost the citizens of California...so far?
Thirty billion-or-so?
You know... if the dominant liberal media continues to keep jammin their liberal slant down people's throat, eventually they could be treated as shabbily as the ruling class during the French Revolution when the worm finally turns against them.
It'll be the demise of the DemonicRats, too!!!
My, wouldn't that be sad! /Not!
