Unfortunately, there are a lot of Demon Cats out here in CA. I hope I am wrong, but I think Davis will win in a huge landslide in Nov.
I hope you're wrong too. I think that its going to be a squeaker either way. I hope for a squeaker in Simon's favor.
I may be a fool for thinking this, but I still hold out a great deal of hope that a conservative can be elected govenor in this state. Time will tell.
Furthermore, I would like to see the Dems suffer the loss of a govenorship in California this November, regardless what happens nationally.
I should think that Davis should be easier to beat given his low approval numbers, scandals, etc.
I don't understand why people keep saying that. Simon is leading in all the serious political polls of likely voters. Th most recent poll has Simon ahead by 8 points.
Yes there are a lot of liberals out here, but this is a state with a lot of conservatives too. The simple fact is that liberals and Rats don't tend to turn out in large numbers, and when their man is a creepy slime like Davis, they will turn out in even lower numbers.
You want a pleasant surprise? Come on out here and walk around a shopping mall with a Simon for Governor T-Shirt on. People will pull you aside right and left and tell you how much they despise Davis even though they are Dems and voted for him before. It happens to me and my wife all the time.
