Bill Simon, the investor and philanthropist who was the Republican nominee against Gray Davis in 2002, has sent a letter to supporters informing them that he won’t be a candidate for state treasurer next year as he had planned.
In the letter, Simon cites the oft-used “personal” reasons for backing out, saying he wants to spend more time with his family. But this is one case where that might actually be true. Simon has confided in friends in recent months that the unanticipated pressures involved in caring for their developmentally disabled 17-year-old son have been all-consuming for him and his wife, Cindy. Still, Simon says he hopes to run again for public office again in the future.

What we desperately need to find is an Attorney General candidate to get behind. It's a very important office that we can't just write-off.
I think ol' Jerry Brown is running for A.G. oddly enough.

Huh? Tom is running for Lieutenant Governor, not Attorney General.

We have
Chuck Poochigian running for AG.
For Treasurer, there's Claude Parrish or RINO Keith Richman.
For Controller, we have Tony Strickland as the best choice (over Abel Maldonado).
For Insurance Commissioner, we have either Phil Kurzner or Gary Mendoza (or RINO of RINOs Steve "I supported the Gore recount" Poizner).

Abel Maldonado wants to be controller? Oh please, he's just running for daylight.
