Republican Bill Simon, buoyed by the reversal of a fraud verdict, has decided to plow millions of his own dollars into his campaign to unseat California Gov. Gray Davis, Simon associates said.

With skeptical donors finally beginning to smile on Mr. Simon's cash-starved campaign 51 days before the election, the candidate has decided to ante up $4 million of his own money to further boost donors' confidence, his associates said privately.

Good news--I hope. Maybe Karl Rove should phone some of these guys and tell them that if they donate to Gray Davis the White House will not be terribly pleased with them next time they need a favor. That wouldn't be very nice, but I don't know how else to deal with "Mr. Vengeance" or "Mr. Pay to Play," as they call him.

Wouldn't some of this stuff make pretty good campaign ads? There's a new guy in town, and there will be a shootout at high noon against the Godfather and his Enforcers?

Thanks for the ping. Let's hope that this is the beginning of a tidal wave that will wash the Dimwit out of office on November 5. DUMP DAVIS!

Oh, I'm sorry! I did a search on News/Activism but not on Campaign 2002, so I did not see your post. Thank you for pointing out the duplicate post.
