Governor [Davis] spurns debate, blasts Simon for showing up

When is it a bad thing for a candidate for governor to tell voters about his plans for California's future?

Well, if you listen to Gov. Gray Davis and his supporters, it's when the person sharing the podium with you doesn't meet the governor's political standards.

Does anyone who did attend the debate have a report on how the candidates did? I'm rather curious there hasn't been any kind of thread on it.

"I've been doing the job I've been hired to do, working my way though 1,200 bills that must be acted upon,"

That is just what California needs - 1,200 more laws.

Has anyone seen any polls, there seem to be no polling news at all lately.

"We're not engaging in a debate with Peter Camejo, regardless of the forum, " said Roger Salazar, a spokesman for Davis. "When you debate a third-party candidate, you are a third-party candidate."

Maybe this will PO those independent types in CA, of which there are very many.

Of course, this is based on the assumption that Davis' "no show" at this debate is reported at all.

RonDog and I attended. Some of RonDog's impressions are here:

Camejo is a lefty's lefty, but he showed 1000% more class than Gray Davis.

Davis sounds like a nut and very desperate.

Earlier this week, Republican Bill Simon was in Beverly Hills for a debate sponsored by the Greenlining Institute and New California Media, an ethnic news media association.

At least Simon kept his word and showed up.

I missed RonDog's analysis because it was so far down in the thread - great work RD!

He should have asked me about the Hollywood secession - it's all about having decisions made for a characterful local area by a characterless, incompetent and unresponsive bureaucracy. The LA Weekly is against secession, particularly of the Valley, because then the leftists in the city won't have as much money to throw around. But even they admit the existing system is a horror.

Anyone know how the City of West Hollywood is working out? Maybe it would be more practical for West Hollywood to merge with Hollywood, but I don't know if West Hollywood really wants Hollywood's problems. My impression is that West Hollywood is significantly better run than Hollywood (not that this is difficult, mind), but I'd be curious to hear some views from those on the ground. I'm sure it's the world's most liberal city, but how well does it work compared to LA?
