[Theodore R.]

Simon seems disengaged at this time, probably pondering the depth of the task he faces. Given the immigrant population and recent history of CA, it is hard to see how Simon pulls the upset of the century. Californians are just as Democrat now as their liberal cousins in MA and CT.

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. :-)
