This is good news. Now, if we'd only stop letting Gray have the airwaves to himself...

"You won't see this side reported in the mainstream press."

That's for sure. What we'll see in the mainstream media is more of "The Grey Area" Davis' media attack-dog commentaries....

...Not surprising, really, I will never forget that the Fraternal Order of Police endorsed George Bush in the presidential race...not only didn't the mainstrean media report that, but Al's Pals kinda intimated that it was AL who got their endorsement. The FOP was forced to resort to sending out an email newsletter in an attempt to get the word out.

Now, NOTHING the left-wing media pulls surprises me. (and I thought I was a certified cynic BEFORE)

In fact, the 300 people attending a weekend retreat at former Assemblyman Brooks Firestone's ranch delivered a standing ovation to Simon, although few of them supported him in the primary.

I betcha the rafters really shook, Ya.. We Got A New Unity in The GOP.. Woo Hoo!!
DUMP DAVI$ & the Den of Socialists



GO SIMON

[Miss Marple]

Now, when the San Francisco Chronicle starts their ranting about how the moderates are deserting the conservatives, I hope people will remember THIS article. ANY analysis by such papers is usually meant to divide Republicans by causing resentment on both sides.

Good reading.

President Bush is wildly popular with Latinos...

Is he? As I recall, in 2000 Bush actually won the Hispanic vote in Florida (remember the Cubans!), but nationwide the vote went 2 to 1 for Al Gore.

In addition, just subjectively based on a few comments here, Simon is starting to annoy conservatives with his "reaching out" to the middle and possibly compromising principles.

'You won't see this side reported in the mainstream press'

That is fine with me, it will make Simon'd victory all the more sweet when the libs are crying in november. Go Simon!!

[Gophack]

Yet most polls still show Simon either tied or leading the race, proving there's more independent thought in the dining room than the pressroom. Even Davis's own polls show the contest to be a dead heat. If rank-and-file "moderates" follow the lead of those at Firestone's ranch, Simon will have defied conventional wisdom again by uniting his Party, taking a giant leap toward winning November's race.

Simon is a conservative who appeals to moderates and independents because of his common sense approach to communication and politics. This is great news ... we need a Bill Simon to keep our party together, keep our party right of center, and focus on fixing four years of Davis failures ...

Go Simon!

[heleny]

minor detail about election day this year (otherwise the article is a good read):
November 4 may be exceedingly gray for Davis.
November 5 may be exceedingly gray for Davis.

[Always Right]

It has become a media mantra to say Simon can't win because he's "an extremist" - without bothering to define what that is.

An extremist is one who believes an embryo is a bit more than a clump of cells that may be disposed of like trash.

You won't see this side reported in the mainstream press.

How do you reconcile that statement with this:

President Bush is wildly popular with Latinos and Simon's use of Spanish ads to reach out appears to be bearing fruit. Even the Los Angeles Times, which usually functions as a Democrat Party house organ, admits Simon may be making significant in-roads into this vital constituency.
