Law enforcement group throws weight to Simon

Sacramento -- A statewide law enforcement organization that has backed Gov. Gray Davis endorsed Republican challenger Bill Simon on Monday, citing the growing furor over allegations that Davis doles out political favors based on campaign contributions.

But as Simon traveled the state touting the endorsement, Davis' campaign said the support was coming from a group desperate for publicity that represented few actual law enforcement officers.

Davis is hemorrhaging money. He's spending millions to get the base firmed up. Imagine where that'll leave him financially come Labor Day. Oh its a beautiful picture.

[eureka!]

Yes, that Grayout is spending money now on attack ads is quite telling. His negatives will not go lower so all he can do is try to get Simon's up. It will be an interesting November.

Otherwise, it is still raining and index ping...

'Davis downplayed defection'

Nothing but 'D' facts.

I believe that you are wrong with this part of your reply: His negatives will not go lower

As you and I have chatted earlier today, Davis has been ripped with opeds in Sunday's papers, Monday's and today's.

Normally the Rat infested maggots who control the fishwraps put out the bad opeds on Davis in the Friday pm or Saturday am fishwraps and bury them. This has not happened this week.

I believe that we seeing an erosion of his position amongst his voting cults and his negatives aganist him will increase and across the board.

[eureka!]

Re#6 How inelegant of me. I meant that Grayout will have a hard time getting his positives higher and his negatives down. I understand that an incumbent with high negatives, like Davis, has big problems. I believe we are on the same page. Grayout is not liked and will be liked by less...

......tee hee....good one.......

You are elegant, and we are on the same wave lenght. Here is another way to look at all of these stories, (link)

Obviously Dan and I like you are glad to see these articles, but there are a couple of legs missing for a stable three legged stool. As Dan points out, when they start to praise Simon, that will be a second leg of the stool. As I have pointed out, when some prominent editors and publishers start to scream for Davis's head, that will be the third leg of a three legged stool. Until then sitting on a one legged stool puts any conservative at risk.

Well-put. It's not time to sit yet!

Too many times we conservatives have fallen for a one legged stool put there by Chris Matthews, Dowd, or some other liberal pretending to be conservative. About the time we get semi comfortable on that one legged stool, they kick out that one leg.

Your observation about no praise for Simon is one of these little gems I hope to get on each visit to Free Republic. These little gems go with my little gems, and the is a revelation/reality that was not there before.

Thanks again!
