Davis would have beaten Riordan, who had major, major, personality problems. Riordan thought we should all be so grateful that he was Mr. Wonderful. He had so little control of his temper that he could be goaded into erupting on camera. Riordan was basically undisciplined as a candidate, as well as being a pompous fool.

Thats one opinion, however I was in Cali in 2000 and 2001 and I don't think anyone in the state of moderate blood would have held anything against anyone for exploding on camera at Davis... rolling blackouts, fiscal fiasco, oracle contract kickbacks, corruption... any politician with even a monicum of experience would have eaten Davis for lunch... Simon had no business on the Ballot... he never had a chance statewide.. R's did the same thing here in PA last time, put up a completely unelectable person statewide for governor, and frankly PA is a pretty conservative state, and the R's lost here too.

Simon should have never been the canidate he brought no regional backing, no statewide appeal, and was a complete fish out of water, Davis shot him like a fish in a barrel and waltz back into office with a popularty rating well under 50%... R's shot themselves last cycle in golden state, and until they stand up and accept responsibility for it, they will remain irrellevant in statewide offices there.
