California's Al Gore is simply seeking to neutralize his negative image through a little contrived humility

Gore beat Dubya by 12 points in California in 2000.

If Davis is a Gore and Simon is a Dubya, who wins California this fall and by how many points.

Your typical whiz-dumb. You told us he couldn't beat Riordan too.

A major difference is that Gore was never less than 50% approval with his base during the election... Grayout Davis has been below 50% with those who should be his most ardent supporters for quite a while.

[CounterCounterCulture]

If you were paying attention, California was never in play for Dubya and he spent little time and money here.

Bill Simon is very much in this game.

Ah, but Californians have had the chance to actually see Gray Davis in action. And moods have changed dramatically since 911. It's harder to demonize Republicans these days. Besides, Ca voters are schizophrenic, to wit: Gov. Reagan, followed by Gov. Moonbeam, followed by Gov. Deukmanian. Go figure.

[Joe Hadenuf]

Lousy analogy.
