"This signifies that in the post-Labor Day campaign, the Simon organization will be lean and very mean," said Sean T. Walsh, a state Republican strategist and campaign adviser. "We are going to take on Gray Davis in a very aggressive and direct way." Maybe this will change the tone on many of the Calgov2002 threads!

I first read about Simon cutting his staf in the LA Times article
Calif. Gov. Candidate Reduces Staff. This article had the following info:
About 30 people are being laid off from a staff of more than 70, the campaign said Wednesday.
and:
The Simon campaign, which had a staff twice as large as Davis', was spending heavily on salaries.
I haven't seen it reported in other articles that Simon had a staff twice the size of Davis. It seems like a very prudent move to cut the staff & I am also glad to see these other veterans come aboard.
Now lets hope Rollins & Harrington come out swinging.

Now lets hope Rollins & Harrington come out swinging. Sorry, should be:
Now let's hope Rollins & McCarthy come out swinging.
To: Ernest_at_the_Beach
I wonder how many Davis moles were flushed out with this move?
To: gubamyster
Thank you for offering that info, gub. I think the move was wise and shows financial prudence on Simon's part. GO SIMON!!!

I sure like the title, and some contents of the article hearten me. But Ed Rollins? Isn't he the one who went to work for Ross Perot, then quit and said he was nuts; who talked about "walkin' around money," and all? In other words, isn't he really unstable and unreliable, and don't I remember thinking he should be blackballed for life??

'Mr. Rollins, based in New York, is a familiar face in California political circles. He most recently advised one of Mr. Simon's primary opponents, Bill Jones, the California secretary of state, and in 1994 ran the losing Senate campaign of Michael Huffington. As an unpaid adviser to Bob Dole's 1996 presidential campaign, Mr. Rollins resigned after using an anti-Jewish slur at a San Francisco political roast to refer to two California Democratic congressmen. Mr. McCarthy, based in Washington, helped produce a television spot for Vice President George Bush in the 1988 that referred to a convicted murderer, Willie Horton, to suggest that Mr. Bush's Democratic opponent, Gov. Michael S. Dukakis of Massachusetts, was soft on crime.'Boy, the Clymers at the NY Times sure tout these guys' resumes. ;^)

Rollins ... isn't he really unstable and unreliable?

All that Simon has to do is come out against ILLEGALS & he wins big. Since the "Two-Party Cartel" has no intentions of that happening Dufus will probably remain in office.

"We are going to take on Gray Davis in a very aggressive and direct way."I can already hear the wails of the scumbag "moderates" in the California GOP:
"Can't we all just get along? Ya know, if Bill Simon would just soften his views a little...."

"All that Simon has to do is come out against ILLEGALS & he wins big." You are 100% right. Only problem is that everytime a Republican says ILLEGALS, the LA and NY 'SLIMES' say immigrants. They do not seem to have any desire to have two categories of immigrants(legal and illegal); thereby, they scare(fear tactics work on the 'working poor' and many seniors) ALL immigrants into voting against Republicans.
How can the 'right' word on ILLEGAL immigration get out?

Of course, the 'SLIMES' wouldn't portray the 'inventor of the Internet' as being the perp.

"Mr. Rollins resigned after using an anti-Jewish slur at a San Francisco political roast to refer to two California Democratic congressmen." Apparently, in San Francisco, even 'political roasts' have to be sensitive, tolerant, and politically correct.
Call me a 'WASP' if you will, but, be sensitive to my color, my ancestors, and my religion. {;~)
