With four weeks to go before the election, the race for governor is almost too close to call, according to an exclusive News10/SurveyUSA poll.
The poll revealed that Gov. Gray Davis is holding a seven point lead over Republican Bill Simon, 44 to 37 percent. The margin between the two candidates has shrunk in the last two weeks. In a survey conducted on September 21, Davis led Simon by 12 points, 47 to 35 percent.
In the most recent poll, two third-party candidates accounted for another 12 percent of the vote. Green Party candidate Peter Camejo has eight percent of the vote, while Libertarin Gary Copeland has 4 percent. Six percent of those surveyed were undecided.
Davis is strongest in Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, while Simon's greatest support is in the Central Valley.
A total of 576 likely voters were surveyed for the poll on October 5 and 6. The poll has a margin of error of 4.2 percent.

Grayout at less than 45% is not good, not good at all, for a well known incumbent.
And yes, South/Grayout overplayed their outrage and Simon, even in the presstitutes' reports, comes off as much a victim as Davis.
And yes, the photo still stung--Grayout with a sh#t eating grin taking big bucks from a suited bearded fatcat.
And finally, there is more to come--the "High Political Figure" in Nathanson's letter, a la Toricelli. Why did Grayout want to keep it from the public for the past two years? Hmmm. Kinda answers itself. Already, South is trying to slam Nathanson. But there is nothing he can do. There will be stories on it. They won't be pretty despite the pressholes' spin. And Grayout's numbers won't go up. Hehehehe.
Simon will be our next governor....

Rob Brown R could beat Patty Berg D in the First District if enough Greens vote for Thon.
We must hint to our less informed neighbors to vote for Camejo.
This letter must have the potential to be highly damaging, otherwise Gray-Out would have leaked it to the press well ahead of the election. It was the Clinton's MO to leak damaging info to the press and put their spin on it ahead of time. And if nothing else, Gray-Out is a Clinton wanna be.
The fact that Gray-Out hasn't leaked the info to the press and spun it to his advantage reveals that 1) he hoped it wouldn't be made public until AFTER the election and that 2) it is "unspinnable".
This isn't over yet.
Looking on the bright side, once the Dems completely take over, they'll pass a law banning unhappiness. Sure, the State will suck out loud, but you won't be unhappy about it. (And if you are, you'll be getting a visit from the Happy Patrol's dynamic entry team at 3 am to cheer you up.)
Looks like SCOTUS did something I've never seen before: it let someone file an anonymous cert. petition with an anonymous lawyer. Such solicitude for the privacy rights of crooks . . .

The 9th Circuit overturned Karlton in December 2001, ruling that there was "no adequate justification" for withholding the documents.
But the letters were not released because an unnamed "private citizen" appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court to keep the names from being revealed.
unnamed "private citizen" = Davi$ or agent acting for Davi$

McClintock and Olberg are ahead in every poll EXCEPT the LA Times poll. They are both CONSERVATIVE, PRO-LIFE, PRO-GUN REPUBLICANS. I don't think that any of the other Republicans have a chance, because they are running against an incumbent and have NO MONEY. But McClintock and Olberg are DEFINTELY in the running.
The Simon-Davis race is definitely a toss-up. Anything can happen. We have more than 3 weeks to go, and the latest polls show Simon closing in, slowly but surely.
Davis is a corrupt power-hungry megalomaniac. We HAVE TO DUMP DAVIS!!!!!
