Davis led Simon by 41 percent to 34 percent in a statewide Field Poll released July 11.

Unbelievable. What are the people of Calif. thinking? Simon should be ahead 75 to 25 no matter how many adds the professional fund raiser puts out.

How dare anyone imply that the news organizations at the media outlets (which are accepting Davis' ads hand over fist) have a conflict of interest! The reason they aren't repeatedly asking Davis to explain his lies is because "the issue isn't newsworthy." < /sarcasm >

Their personal bias has nothing at all to do with this lack of coverage either.

From the article, an irresistable tidbit:

I'm one of those who believes that if this gets too negative, the winner might be the one who has the most friends and relatives because I think the rest of us will stay home on Election Day," he said.

I wish I could be a fly on the wall in some of those focus groups South claims to have used, because I think the Davis ads stink.

I notice how the article did its best to spin a positive for Davis - yes, Simon's negatives are up, but Davis' support is still down against Simon. And in the end, that's what matters.

If Bill Simon Can't Be Trusted To Run A Campaign
GoGov.com - R. Betts

"If Bill Simon can not be trusted to run a corporation, how can he be trusted with the World's fifth largest economy?" - Campaign ad of California Governor Gray Davis.

The political come backs to that one are so numerous given the current economic state of California it can only be sheer ineptitude that explains the silence of the Republican nominee for governor Bill Simon and his campaign. This attack ad now bombarding the California airways is after all from a man that took the budget of the fifth largest economy in the world into the tank.

Having in less than one year run the California budget from a surplus of over $12 billion to a budget deficit that would shut down most third world countries, Davis explains the state energy debacle and resulting stratospheric losses occurring under his watch was not his fault. It was the greedy, corrupt big oil and energy companies that did it.

That would be the same companies that chose only California and Gray Davis to pick on. Or is it that all the rest of the nation's governors were just a tad bit smarter?

Either way is reason enough to vote Davis out of office. The problem is, no one has told that to the Simon campaign. While California sits on a huge deficit, the Simon campaign sits on its hands.

Thanks to Davis, California no longer counts on a budget surplus. Thanks to another wholly inept Republican party campaign, no one will be making an issue of it.
