Simon is fighting a two front battle. One against Davis and another against the bluebloods that have a strangle hold on the California GOP purse strings. Since Simon blew out their pet puppet Riorden, they've been miffed and refused to release money to Simon. If he does win (it will be a miracle with the lack of advertising I've been seeing), he should clean sweep out the management of the Calif. GOP. Then, maybe we may get some candidates that aren't transparent, hypocritical yes men.

I would have agreed with you on this except last month Simon gave into Bush's demands that Bush people be put into the important positions in the Simon campaign. If Simon didn't agree to this Bush made it clear that no money would go Simon's way from the National GOP nor would Bush campaign on behalf of Simon in the coming weeks. In the end, Simon folded like the blue-blood his old man was. Yep, he sold out the grass-roots supporters (the people who got him nominated) to the country club Republicans that are leading our party to a catastrophic defeat this November.

Since Simon blew out their pet puppet Riorden, they've been miffed and refused to release money to Simon.

Please see above. Simon gave into Bush's demand and put in Bush cronies. Simon will hopefully get the money and be able to at least get some ads out before November.

If he does win (it will be a miracle with the lack of advertising I've been seeing), he should clean sweep out the management of the Calif. GOP. Then, maybe we may get some candidates that aren't transparent, hypocritical yes men.

Yes, if he does win and I hope he does, he should clean house, but he won't. The powers to be in the party would destroy him in a New York minute if he did clean house.
