[Reeses]

Why elect Simon to save the socialists? A better strategy may be to let the socialists implode. This sequence of events is classic, time tested, most effective way ever discovered to stop socialism. Now that they've driven to the cliff, let them continue over the edge.

I'm afraid I have to agree on this. Even if Simon is elected, the legislature is overwhelmingly Democratic. Simon would just give them a rallying point. It will take a political implosion to get them out. Some on the order of Proposition 13. One more term of extreme mismanagement might enable changes in the state constitution.
