The Simon "campaign" should serve as a reminder to us. Bush's political instinct made him support Riordan -- not Simon. Turns out Bushie's instinct was good as gold again. They shoulda listened. Riordan was definitely more electable than Simon.

No! Riordan is NOT more electable than Simon. GW supported Riordan because of Carl Rove - not because he knew anything about Riordan. Riordan is such a RINO - and I'm sick of these wishy-washy people.

And ... Simon is doing just fine - thank you.

Besides, do you think the ultra-leftwing media of this state is going to let any news of Simon's campaign get front page status??

You fell for it, exactly as expected. Bush screwed Simon from the get go BECAUSE he was a conservative. It started over a year ago. Are you going to be chump, or are you going to stand on principle? That's how Reagan won.

I have a feeling Bush is trying his best to save some of Roves "hand picked" Senate candidates in other states.Rove won't be hurt by these loses but our President sure will be. Riordan lost big time in Calif...get over it.

If that instinct was "good as gold," would Riordan have lost the primary?
