In one corner we have Gray Davis, punching himself in the face over and over. In the other corner we have Bill Simon looking for help to lace up his gloves. What is Bill Simon doing to get his message out? What is his message, other than "I'm not Gray Davis"?

I hope Simon is just biding his time while the country is distracted by terrorism in Washington (read the Senate). Davis is his own worst enemy right now, and when your opponent is self-destructing, don't do anything to help him.

I'm sure Simon is going to perk up in a few months and rehash all of this in a way that the Democrats won't be able to play the "it's old news" game. If he attacks now (while Davis is doing it for him), he shoots his ammo now and the Dems can play the old-news game later.

It's too early to go on the air. No one -- but us -- is paying attention to the election. Let Davis continue to rack up his negatives. When the time is right, Simon will be in with the knock-out punch. We have four-and-a-half months until the election. The longer Davis can wallow in his mistakes and bad press, the better. When that is no longer effective, then Simon's team should bury him. But now, it's too early and would be ineffective.

SiMon is doing the right things. He is out in the state meeting regular folks. He is fundraising.

You can ask the media why his message isn't more pronounced out there, altho' there are Simon reports in the media from time to time.

The ads will come later. Simon is still letting Davi$ define himself to the voters.;; ie, letting GraYouT rub his nose in his own , yaknow ..
