it is hard to see how Simon pulls the upset of the century.

ROTFLMAO!!! Gee, leave it to ol' Theo to completely exaggerate in favor of the oddsmaker's choice. So tell me, Theo, if it's such a daunting task:
-Why has Simon led in four of five polls?
-Why are Davis' re-elect numbers so mind numbingly pathetic?
-Why does the Political Oddsmaker list Davis (a.k.a. incumbent in the "upset of the century" race) as only having a 51.7% chance to win?

Sure, Davis should probably be favored, simply because of that massive war chest he's got. But upset of the century?!? LOL!!

But I know, I know. You really, really want Simon to win. :-)

Let's see how Davis' fellow Rats in the State Legislature help him over the hump of summer...

Coop, I had heard about two weeks ago that Davis had regained the lead in the hypothetical matchup. Was that a false report, or a temporary aberration? As a matter of fact, I want Simon to win very much, but it's the CA voters who make me think it will be a herculean task for him to do so. Blacks, Asians, and Hispanics are strongly Democrat in CA -- that's why the challenge will be great.
