Seems to me you haven't been paying attention to his recent moves, such as moving to the left of Davis on environmental questions, and running Spanish language ads to appeal to our Hispanic near-majority. Not to mention his promise not to intervene on abortion issues. That's far from a "rather be right than governor" approach.

Remember, if there are six Democrats for every four Republicans, all you have to do is convince two of those Democrats to stay home and you have an even race. As you well know, Gray Davis has been working very hard (in a covert effort financed by the Simon campaign, no doubt) to make this happen.

If Simon can convince one more than half the undecideds to vote for him, he's just won the election.

In view of how repellant Davis is, including the downright fraudulent nature of his current anti-Simon ads, I think this is eminently doable.

In any event, your commentary would be appropriate for someone who was, say, 10-20 points down in the race, but not to someone who's either dead even or ahead of his opponent. This is especially true considering the now cringeworthy views of the LA Weekly, who said he didn't even have a chance of getting into the ballpark.

In my opinion, Simon has an excellent chance of winning. He's not perfect - who is? - but I'm convinced he has what it takes to win.

I agree. Go Simon!
