Honestly, I expect Simon to take a hit in the polls, but nothing major. I don't expect voters to flock to the Davis camp. If folks (including the RNC and national Pubbies) would relax and let this thing play out, I think Simon can still win. But as we see here, so-called conservatives and Republicans are falling all over themselves to tell us how Simon doesn't have a prayer.
Then again, they were doing that when all the news was good. :-)
Ain't that the case. *sigh* Methinks many are less that sincere pubbies. Your reading of the article appears accurate too. Definitely an interesting race so far. See ya around...
