California ranks as the world’s sixth largest economy and sets nationwide trends in government policy, education and culture. Yet the state appears leaderless and out of effective control. Both U.S. senators are Democrats, the governor is a Democrat, the legislature is dominated by Democrats. California has been called the Left Coast for good reason.

Sweeeeet!

Oh, I have little doubt that Simon has scrutinized the budget and is horrified at what he sees.

I think the Davis campaign is right in saying that the electorate will be frightened by the changes Simon would make if he was elected. Problem is that Davis would have to make similar changes if he's unfortunate enough to win the election. Davis challenges Simon to doing better at sewing up the gap while being dishonest about what it takes himself.

It doesn't lead itself to a fair fight, and that's exactly why there haven't been more specific proposals on either side.

I would vote for Simon even if I was a middle of the roader, simply because we desperately need someone who has good judgement and is able to face issues head on. Davis shows very clearly through his own handling of the budget - identical to his handling of the power crisis - that he's adept at slipping things under the rug and lousy at dealing with the resultant lumpy carpets.

Conversely, Gray Davis may indeed be re-elected, but he won’t do it running on his record. Lately, his behavior resembles a cross between Captain Queeg’s marbles and Nixonian paranoia. One can almost picture Bogie’s "Caine Mutiny" line: "I tried to reason with them, but they wouldn’t listen."

Tom McClintock for Controller has a "Davis Inc. Favors-for-Friends Clock" counting the Davis campaign dollars. It even uses one of Davis' campaign website cartoon characters.

It shows $79.56 million now, and counting about $30 per minute.
