Personally, I think Simon would be a fool to spend money now. NO ONE is paying attention to the ads. The election is five months away. Have you seen Davis' ads? They're very poorly done.

Davis is trying to do one of two things: get Simon to spend his money early (waste his money) when NO ONE is paying attention except for people like us, or, 2) Davis is trying to stop his negatives from going up. Davis' negatives exceed 50% ... that is NOT GOOD. A labor poll released last week shows Simon up by 8 ... two other private polls released two weeks ago show the race dead even. ALL polls -- even the discredited Field Poll -- show Davis with negatives at 50% OR HIGHER.

Davis has major problems. I will change my opinion about Simon doing ads before Labor Day IF Simon's negatives go up OR Davis' negatives go down.

If those don't happen in the next ten weeks, Simon is wise to keep his resources intact until after Labor Day.

Go Simon!

Yup .. SiMon needs to be doing what he is doing now.. Laying the base for the attack that IS to come ...

Let Davis run and run his lame ads ... How many damn times can he shoot himself in the foot? over 12 million times so far with the attack ads... LOLOL

I think Simon can get by on 50 million.

What will GraYout raise and spend?

Last I saw, he had in the high 20 million area to blow..I shur hope his well runs dry quick.

Nope, Simon needs to keep being and doing what he is doing .. he is available, he is reaching out, I don't fret about his offshore stance or S&Ls these days, I worry about paychecks and education and infrastructure.

There is a lot of damage to be undone before this state can be called "Golden" Again ..

This may be the best shot to start down a new road minus some GOP high mucky-mucks (Parsky) to name one ..

I hope Simon wins Big and flushes the republiRats that are not like us "regular Joes".

You do have a good point in what you say. If Simon can conserve his resources until post Labor Day, he will obviously be much better off. However, I do believe there is some risk in this strategy if Davis sustains or increases negative ads against Simon throughout the summer months.

I live in the San Diego area and have not seen one Davis ad. It appears that hardly anyone here is paying any attention to the Simon/Davis race with the Danielle van Dam murder/Westerfield trial gobbling up all the media attention here.

Under these circumstances, the Simon campaign shouldn't spend money here. San Diego generally goes more conservative than L.A. or even Imperial county to the east, anyway.

I must confess that since 1996, I feel conservative candidates should be far more aggressive in combatting and countering Democrats and their campaigns of defamation, fear-mongering, and bold prevarications.

I know Davis is in trouble, but this is California. Tides can turn in strange intervals. Nothing seems conventional here anymore.
