That's what REALLY gets me, is that the press keep talking about this, and Simon wasn't even named as a defendent!!!!!!

This is a run for GOVERNOR!!

He needs to counter the media with ADDS!! Yet, we see nothing. Certainly not on any State level to counter all this. He could BUY time if he needed to. In fact, he NEEDS to. Because without some kind of counter to all the things being put out there, he is a dead duck.

I'm sorry, but I didn't think anyone could LOSE to Gray Davis. Simon isn't running a very good campaign. Those are the facts.

I'm still hoping he has SOMETHING up his sleeve, that will show he is TRULY in this.

Sorry, but I'm just saying what I'm seeing (or NOT SEEING) and believe me, we'd LOVE to see Davis gone. He NEEDS to be gone!

This should have been the easiest race in California history considering Davis's record! Yet it is still a close race. That alone defies logic. It speaks to the lack of any real campaign by Simons. Either he is getting really crappy advice, or he just isn't up to the job. This should have been a cake walk.

Believe me,.. it saddens us to feel this way. But we have a choice, we can act like Ostriches, and plant our heads deeper in the sand, or we can start letting the Simon Campaign know we are extremely displeased with his campaign. IMHO, He needs NEW managers NOW!!

I understand your feelings, but it's still three months before the election and except for political people like us, few people are following the governor's race. There is PLENTY of time to get ads up and running. It would be a waste to get them up now ... the first two weeks of the network premieres will MORE than make up for not being on tv in August ... there is a good reason the networks put on re-runs through the summer!

Don't give up on Simon. His campaign team got him through a primary that no one thought he could win, and Simon TROUNCED Riordan by 19 points -- and everyone (friends and foes) said he waited too long to get up on tv, too long before attacking Riordan, yada yada.

So, keep the faith, work hard, and we'll have Governor Simon on November 5th!

Go Simon!

On KSFO this morning, Simon said that he would be issuing negative Grayout ads shortly. Didn't want to get too much into the time frame - or what the ads were about - as there are always dems listening and knowing the timing and the content could give Davis a leg up.
