Also true as to preaching to the choir. But they will vote. As to Hugh's audience, I don't know the numbers. As to the LA Times, do bear in mind that while its readership is large (I believe a circulation of 1.2 million or so) but falling and by no means the only source of news for many.
Perhaps more importantly, what I also do know is that Grayout is detested by many in his own party and is, for an incumbent, in a world of hurt. His negatives are very bad for an incumbent and conventional wisdom has it that it is very difficult to reverse those numbers. Hence, the recent attack ads on Simon. Meanwhile, Simon is trying to educate Hispanics via Spanish media (and W and Giuliani will be back too) and otherwise letting Grayout get bad press, as I cannot think of a single article of recent that was good press. Keep the faith...
I would also like to see Condi Rice make an appearance or two in support of Simon.
I think his ads in Spanish are a good idea & can only help.
I also think Simon could get his message out for free buy calling in on Hugh's show or on KABC radio. I know Mr. KABC at night has asked him on 3 occasions for the Hour of Power, but Simon has not called in. Mr. KABC supported Davis last time, but now detests him & says he will voter for Simon. I’m sure Simon could reach many who listen to this show who feel the same.
I heard him on Larry Elder's show a few weeks ago, but he needs to get his message out more often.
