"The mismanagement of this state has sent us careening from crisis to crisis, and most recently, from scandal to scandal, to the point where sometimes I refer to Gov. Gray Davis as our first coin-operated governor," Simon said to applause at the event, from which aides expected to collect $500,000.

"He started it," Simon quipped, an apparent reference to the television ad Davis began airing this week that criticizes Simon's role at a savings and loan that was seized by federal regulators in 1993.

I saw a short segment on the 10:00 news last night about Laura Bush in San Francisco. They made a big deal of differences between Bush and Simon, the suspension of federal oil leases for off-shore drilling. Bush admin wants it and Simon against it.

Saw this article In the land of Reagan, GOP faces prospect of a shutout , which frightened me. It possible predicts GOP will really be big losers in California. GO SIMON! prove them wrong!

The fact that there were 1000 Republican women there at the fundraiser was a very good sign. The times are indeed changing. Simon is leading Davis in the polls despite the Davis smear campaign. I'm ever hopeful we can change the state around.

The most important tool the California press had to use against Simon was that he was an extreme conservative, an outsider, an unknown lacking experience, who did not have Bush's confidence or the support of the California Republican leadership. They are still saying that the dark-horse Simon only beat Riordan because Gray Davis ran an ad campaign against Riordan--which is clearly not true and probably won't get them much mileage.

No, the important thing is that President Bush supports Simon and is happy to campaign for him. Sending Laura Bush is essentially the same thing. It's a very positive signal, and there's no way the press can distort that simple fact--that George Bush supports Bill Simon.
