I agree that Simon should have gone on the radio, but we don't know if there was a conflict or what, and I know based on the press release I posted that he opposes this bill.

However, if Simon spent $10 million this summer to re-introduce himself to the people, it would be $10 million wasted. The people don't want to hear about it now. They will later.

I've run numerous campaigns (locally) and know that people are far more receptive to messages delivered after Labor Day than before. In 2000 I ran a campaign and we were walking precincts in the summer, working hard, doing phone banks, going to meetings, and NOTHING happened to excite anyone about the candidate until AFTER Labor Day when interest increased a hundred-fold, we had volunteers and phoners etc.

It's Simon's team's job to work the grassroots now, which isn't as visible. I think he's doing it.

And that explains Davis's barrage of ads slamming Simon. I have news for you, the mud Davis is throwing is sticking. By labor day it will be too thick to chisel off.

I agree, and he should go on talk radio to be interviewed more often, if time permits, since liberal TV may continue to ignore him. Talk radio can be a great asset for Simon.

I have heard Tom McClintock on the radio talk shows to talk about AB1058/1493, tax increases, the budget, Davis' incompetence, etc. many more times than I have heard Bill Simon on the radio in the last few months. Maybe I simply missed the Simon shows.
