GO SIMON

[NormsRevenge]

A "While the business climate continues to erode and companies shed jobs, there's one constant: Gray Davis and his conspicuously Marxian vision that the state, not private enterprise, knows what's best for business." PING

bump and dump Davis

[Jagdgewehr]

Don't Give Up The State bump.

65 percent of black Americans favored a moratorium on legal immigration

This is the split that, imho, most seriously threatens the modern Democrat party.

Democrats have ridden the wave of identity politics for the last 40 years. By dividing America into little camps of tribal loyalties, they have all but destroyed core American values and American identity.

But they are approaching a tipping point. Without the support of 80% or more of blacks, they cannot win a national election. Period. Punto.

But blacks are getting restless with the Democrat leadership. Why, if they are so crucial to the Democrats electoral hopes, has there not been a black Majority leader? Why no black Senators? Why no black Speaker of the House? Why no black Presidential or Vice Presidential nominee?

And now, there is a new plum constituency the Dems have their eyes on: Latinos. By the next election cycle, there may well be more Latinos than blacks in the electorate. Blacks resent this, and the Dem leadership is torn about how to handle it.

The opportunity for Republicans here is just tremendous.

Simon should just reach into the Reagan playbook, "are you better off after 4 years of Gray Davis..."

[Cicero]

The Dems have kept blacks on their plantation by paying off so-called black leaders like Jesse Jackson. Hopefully one of these days ordinary blacks will wake up and see how little the Dems have actually done for them.

All the blacks I know are decent people, more conservative on moral issues than many whites, but they still vote Democrat out of long habit and unexamined assumptions. I don't see how that can last forever. It may be that we will look back and see the 2000 election as the point where the Democrat lock on black voters reached its high-water mark.

Question: How do you get Gray Davis to change his position on an issue?

Tell him the check bounced!

Good one! DUMP DAVIS - GO, SIMON!!!

Balkanizing America is the only way for Demonrats to maintain power, but it is a vicious cycle. They will not be able to contain enough "groups" to maintain power and loyalties will change with progression. The Balkans prove this out, either we end group warfare and rally around a common America or we war to our own demise.

[Saundra Duffy]

I wonder if the Simon camp has talked to Shannon (sp?) Reeves (NAACP, Oakland) who is a conservative African-American leader.

I agree. The Democrat stranglehold on the black vote has been an unmitigated disaster for average black people, and the tide is bound to turn.

Gray Davis and his conspicuously Marxian vision that the state,

Marxian?

[Saundra Duffy]

I was busy registering Republicans at Fresno Costco on Saturday but I got a report from the Simon BBQ event at the hanger. I heard it was a HUGE SUCCESS! Bill & Cindy Simon were a big hit. Things are looking good in the Central Valley!! GO, SIMON!!!!

[daviddennis]

Yesterday, as I was driving down the freeway, I heard a radio commercial featuring Rudi Guliani for Bill Simon. I thought it was really well done, and ironically enough it's the first on the air commercial I have heard for either candidate.

(This is because I watch about an hour of TV a year, so I haven't seen the Davis commercial blitz except from its web site).

[Black Agnes]

Ping!

[Bigg Red]

Go Cali FReepers! Dump Davis!

[WOSG]

Yes .... maybe with a variant:

Do you want the next 4 years of State Governance to be like the last 4 years?

even those who are better off now have been harmed by Davis' incompetence on energy etc.

It may be that we will look back and see the 2000 election as the point where the Democrat lock on black voters reached its high-water mark.

People thought that 10 years ago. You show a lack of appreciation of the tenacity of the Democrats. Wait till Democrat candidates start getting behind slavery reparations and implying that the Republicans opposing it are racists. You'll have 90% black voting for the Dems for another generation.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

I see Riordan is thinking about a writin campaign. YUK! Is that one of the trees South said was in Simon's path?

Parsky and Davis tied together?
