Let the lefties stay home in November...Go Simon Go!
BTTT
no brainer
In winning the right to face embattled Democratic Gov. Gray Davis this fall, first-time candidate Simon demolished Riordan by 49% to 31%, with Secretary of State Bill Jones placing third at 17%."Let's do it AGAIN!" - BUMP!This was a shift of 58% from just two months ago, when Riordan was leading in the polls by 40%...
Much was made in the California media last week about Daviss intervention in the Republican contest. It is estimated that he spent $8-10 million slamming Riordan in TV ads that depicted the former mayor as flip-flopping on the death penalty (which he now favors) and abortion (he once called it "murder," now he favors legalized partial-birth abortion).
The Davis blitz, said Steel, was "the equivalent of a general parachuting commandoes into the enemy camp to shoot up the Officers Club."
In the weekend before the primary, an obviously exasperated Riordan denounced the governor, charging that Daviss "gloating that he hijacked the Republican primary [is] just like Mussolini bragging about killing a lot of his enemies."
But given the size of Simons eventual margin over Riordan, his triumph cannot be attributed solely to Daviss ads. Noting that the ads started on January 20, Simon pollster Stephen Kinney of Public Opinion Strategies argued they "actually had little impact on Riordans ballot numbers. By early February, a public poll still found Riordan leading 41% to 24% over Simon, with Jones down to 9%."
Go, RUDY, Go!!!It was former New York Mayor Rudy Giulianis strong endorsement of his onetime assistant federal prosecutor Simon, according to Kinney, that "provided the initial kick..."
Go, Bill, Go!And for deja vu all over again, please see:

One more thing about Riordan that came out during the campaign and has since then been largely forgotten. It was in regard to Mayor Riordan and Los Angeles taking advantage of the rest of California at the height of the energy crisis.
Riordan dealt no mercy to California during enrgy crisis
That was another weapon for Davis spin machine to use on the Republican challenger, enough to turn the rest of the state, especially Northern California, against Riordan.
