YUCK!!! Parsky?? Someone has got to wake Simon up and shake him from this horrid decision.

I think the problem lies more with Bush and his love of liberal people.

The simon campaign is a disaster looking for a place to happen. Most likely the Bush people told him, "put our guy in charge or you get zero bucks from us."

Simon has been a total disaster at raising money and he will have next to no money with out Bush's help. He has been
told. "Do what we say or got get your own money." Since Simon can't get his own money he will try to comply. No one believes that Simon is smart enough to comply.

If you want to run your own disasterous campaign, you had best be good enough at fund raising to fund it. Simon is not. So as in all enterprises, he who gets the money calls the shots.

But it is not likely that Simon will win. I don't think he is nearly smart enough to do what it takes to win. He certainly is dumb enough to do what it takes to lose. Simon is one of those idiots who thinks "I would rather be right than governor. Therefore I will re-elect Davis Governor and feel morally superior all the rest of my days." Deep down Simon is certain that his conservative approach can convince the left that he is right. In other words Simon is a typical right wing idiot who lives in fantasy land. He thinks those on the left can be convinced.

Even a less than good politician like Davis can see how inept Simon is and take advantage of it.

In many states a Republican must get the registered Republicans to vote, and then get a tad over half the independents. In California a candidate must get the base, all the center and a few Democrats to win. Simon like a fool keeps playing to his base. That can not elect him. He must appeal to the middle and garner a Democrats.

Davis just needs the Democrats to win. In nearly all races the Democrats come home. It does not help to make the Democrats think the Repubican candidate is a Repubican.

Simon's problem if he really wants to win, is how to get the center and some democrats to vote for him. So far his pitch is "I am not Davis!" All Davis needs to do to win is to make the case that Simon is like Davis in character but Davis is right wing.

Simon has it set up so Davis has the easiest of all tacks.. Dave must prove that Simon is a hated Conservative who is also Davis's moral equivelent.

That can be done in 2 weeks of saturation adverstising.

They don't call him simple Simon for nothin'

The fools on this site never understand that you can't elect conservatives in a liberal state. They fail to understand that a RINO is Beter than a DINO and a RINO is a lot better than a pure leftist.

The Democrats may be mad at Davis but on election day they will come out and vote for him. Many Republicans think that Simon is a bumbling fool, but they will still vote for him. The problem in California is there are 6 Democrats to every 4 Republicans.

I am constantly amazed by the people that think the left can be persuaded. They think that if they just got to talk to Tom Brokaw long enough, he would become a Conservative.
Jane Fonda and Ted Turner would become Republicans if you just talked to them and they understood.

The problem with running for office in California is over half the voters would agree with the following. "We hold these truths to be self evident, the left is always right and government can solve all problems."
Unless a Republican candidate understands that simple fact and campaigns accordingly he is toast in California.

Mostly the Bush people are just positioning themselves to pick up the pieces after the Simon disaster is over.

Oh well, the disaster called President Bush strikes again. A second term of Davis at least will be entertaining.

Also, in the LA Times story yesterday, Bush and Simon are attacking Davis for allowing some oil drilling in California. At a time when we need to be weening ourselves off of the arabs, Davis does something right, Bush and Simon start running to the left of Davis on the enviroment! Bush is absolutely incredible in his embracement of liberalism.

Looks like the SiMon bashers are out today. Maybe its his religious beliefs.

Anyone really wanting Davi$ to remain in power is beyond hope in my book which gets thicker by the day.

Keep The Faith!!!

DUMP DAVI$ & the Den of Socialists

GO SIMON

YUCK!!! Parsky?? Someone has got to wake Simon up and shake him from this horrid decision.

I've been working on that for over a month.

Why aren't you including Ron Rogers in that comment? You can't win an election in California by trying to out-pander the Democrats or going purely negative. We have plenty of money available to get Simon elected, but more important, we'll pound the streets to get it done... BUT if the Party starts to screw us (which they have been doing), then they'll have to buy the help and Eastern money is all Bill will get.

The real question is: Will Bill Simon and Russo/Marsh do what works and stop screwing the party base, or will they do what the Eastern Party establishment wants because that is who signs the contracts?
