I just hope that all your tremendous efforts will not have been fruitless.

  • PREDICTION OR WISHFUL THINKING?

GRAY DAVIS WINS................DOG CATCHER OF L.A. after being resoundingly defeated in his race to recapture the Govenor's Chair.

Since on your profile page you chose not to identify the state in which you live, I will assume that you do NOT live in California, so that your absolutely CLUE-less remarks (posted above) can be justified by an ignorance based upon misinformation widely promoted in the mainstream media.

Turn off the TV, throw away those left-wing newspapers, and start following the pro-Simon, anti-Davis FReep threads on this forum, if you REALLY want to know what is going on out here.
And, lest you think that my words are just "...the adrenaline-driven, reality-erasing overdrive that keeps even hopeless candidates frenetic as they near the November finish line...," check out this recent analysis by one of the most well-respected minds in American conservative thought:

"...Simon’s campaign has resembled the 1962 Mets who, while losing 120 games, moved their manager, Casey Stengel, to look down the dugout and ask, “Can’t anybody here play this game?”

Nevertheless, Simon resembles the Anaheim Angels:

"He can’t be where he is — but he is." - George Will
