A recent Field Poll found that 51 percent of likely voters had an unfavorable opinion of the governor.

"The average voter isn't particularly focused on this election yet," said Barbara O'Connor, a professor of political communications at Cal State Sacramento. "There are a whole series of scenarios where this might turn around."

Whether or not Simon can come back is up in the air, but I believe Davis has peaked.

I don't see a high Democrat turnout this time around, so the question of GOP turnout is crucial. Simon needs to give Republicans a reason to show up on Election Day.

Simon wants money from ex-associate

Lawyers for the Republican candidate for governor, seeking to soften the blow of a $78 million jury fraud judgment in favor of the former partner, argued that Simon should be reimbursed because the partner concealed that he was a two-time convicted drug smuggler.

You got the right. Sometimes we must get down and dirty.

The number of Dems vs. the numbers of Reps in CA won't make a bit of difference because the numbers are just overwhelming.
