Green Maverick Possible Spoiler for Davis' Bid

To Gov. Gray Davis' long list of troubles -- electrical blackouts, the budget mess, the Oracle contract -- now comes Peter Miguel Camejo, a rumpled investor with a stinging wit whose bare bones campaign operates from a battered Honda emblazoned with Ralph Nader stickers.

Sounds like the GOP might want to consider contributing to this guy's campaign.

Camejo's potential to muck things up for Davis hasn't been lost on Simon's campaign manager Sal Russo. He has written a letter to Davis' campaign chief Garry South, saying Camejo should be included in the debates because of his 5 percent showing in the polls. South has not replied.

Simon and Camejo should just show up and if GraYouT doesn't want to debate, Fine. .. But the voters of California still deserve a series of debates of the issues. If GraY ouT wants to act irrelevant, OK by me. He has long since passed having any reasonable influence or usefulness in governing this state.

Anyone know if the polls that supposedly keep showing Davis "ahead" include Camejo in the list of candidates?

[daviddennis]

They do. You will notice that figures for Gray + Simon + undecideds don't add up to 100%. There's about an 8% gap where Camjo and the other third party candidates go.

To me, the most interesting quote from this article is:

Of Simon, who is also an investor, Camejo says, ``I like him.''

``He's the type of person I wouldn't mind going out for coffee with, discussing things. Davis, on the other hand, his attitude is total disrespect for me.''

Doesn't sound like he minds his role of spoiler one bit, and he even admits that to his supporters. I think this is a very nice way to argue against those who say "Okay, if I vote for you, I give the race to Simon".

"Better him than Davis," is the obvious conclusion.

We have a conservative alternative in Ron Guelke. I'm tickled pink at the idea he'll outpoll the three socialists on the ballot! ;-)
