So Rirodan was a better choice than Simon - but the CRA got Simon in - but then did not have enough power to have the party fund him?

Actually, Bill Jones was the far better choice than either Riordan or Simon, but he was (and is) a complete unknown with no money. But the CRA threw their support behind Simon (partly because they knew that there was going to be significant Democrat crossover for Simon, which would make their task easier). They figured that Simon would be self-funding.

They didn't bother to find out if Simon had a clue as to how to campaign...
