I just saw this Bill Simon commercial today, and it's right on the money.

It's running in Hawaii? No wonder people are criticizing the campaign.;^)

Actually, I saw it and it is good. I hope he does more like it--contrast the *sshole Grayout....

Otherwise, ping for the convenient link and commentary...

Great commercial but I think that Californians will vote democrat even for this guy.

This is why I haven't asked JimRob to change my FReepname, it's such a good conversation starter. :)

[facedown]

Bump!

[eureka!]

LOL. "Eureka" is in California. How boring....

[Tony in Hawaii]

Dou you live in Eureka? I used to go there a lot back in the early 70s.

Don't forget, we had 16 years of Republican governors before the 4 tragic, bankrupt years of Gray Davis.

AUDIO(Music Up & Under)
SIMON:Do you know me? I survived millions of dollars of Gray Davis lies and distortions. I was a federal prosecutor under Rudy Giuliani. I helped build a business that’s created thousands of jobs. My wife Cindy and I have a great family. And we’ve shared our good fortune by giving millions to charities that help people. Maybe because I’ve made money, I’m not corrupted by it … like Gray Davis. I’m not a politician, and I am not perfect, but I will clean up Sacramento. I’m Bill Simon.

Not too bad. I like the bold part (mine) and mention of Rudy. The charity thing sounds a bit pompous, but I like how they tied it to corruption, money and Grayout.

This is what he needs. A string of feel-good bios that make people comfortable that he can handle the job of governor.

What's the format, Windows media Player is complaining!

I thought it was smart enough to handle everything!

[NEWwoman]

Bump!

and Dump Davis.

[Gophack]

I saw the commercial last night. I thought it was great.

[sixgunjer]

I saw that commercial about an hour ago. I thought it was pretty good, and I'm happy that Simon is starting to run them.

I suppose he was just waiting to see the whites of Gray's eyes.

Maybe the Tofu shake Davis is reported to drink every morning has had an effect on his eye color.

The link I posted points to the Real Player/Real One version, but if you go to the website http://www.simonforgovernor.org and click on "commercials" at the bottom left, you can choose formats.

[daviddennis]

It's in Real Media. Windows Media won't handle QuickTime either, so you're missing out on my great Freep videos :-(.

I'll be viewing the commercial tonight when I get home.

Re#7 Nope. Born there, though. Then in and out of the State, from the south to the north to central etc. blah blah. Enough about me. GoSimonGo.....

[tubebender]

LOL. "Eureka" is in California. How boring...

Well golly...I live in Eureka but my handle is tubebender.

[eureka!]

No offense on the "boring" part, mind you, I was talking handles. Eureka is cool (in more ways than one) and I'm prone to say that from there north, the coastline can hardly be matched in beauty...

Thanks for the ping. I like the "maids" commercial the best. You can see all the ads on the website. www.simonforgovernor.com
