Imagine a baseball game where one team wearing big red noses and oversized shoes continually drops fly balls, bobbles grounders and strikes out, yet incredibly has the score close in the ninth inning anyway because the opposing team is just as bad.

Someone said that when it comes to politics, the Republicans are the redcoats marching in lockstep in an open field while the DemonRats are the Minutemen picking them off behind the trees and bushes.
Bill Simon CANNOT get his message out to the masses. This is a fact, and I challenge FReepers to list his campaign failures besides the one mistake he made in last month's debate.
Most FReepers are well aware that California is a proto-Marxist state, run by the Democratic Party and the culpable Democratic-suckup California media. So where has Bill Simon gone wrong? He's made his views known, he's made stump speeches, he's challenged the incumbant commissar's failures, he's received support from Rudy Giuliani and President Bush, and he beat the tar out of RINO Riordan.
Please, enlighten me. What should he have done differently?
How many radio interviews have you heard w/ Simon? How many times have heard him speak in person? How many times have you met Simon?
Although I agree early on his campaign could have been a lot more refined (more money would have helped), this article is totally inaccurate about Simon the man. I've met him a couple of times, heard him speak, & heard him answer tough questions on the radio many times. The man is very sincere. He takes on & answers all questions. He is very warm & actually at the beginning of his campaign he was criticized for being too nice. Recently he has been much more energized and relentless in pounding Davis, while getting his message out.
The Republican circular firing squad in action.
And the FR naysayers should stop whining incessantly like stuck pigs and support Simon before CA falls into the Pacific.
That is what I see with this article!
You've got that right. The media is falling all over themselves blaming the Simon campaign for a loss that may not even occur, and yet none of them are pointing their grubby little fingers at their persistent and decidedly one-sided negative coverage of Simon. And numerous folks here at FR love to oblige them. They stampede to negative threads about Simon, and they're nowhere to be found on threads with positive news.
Well...You clowns are about to get your wish...A BIG FAT NOTHING!!! And all of this when going up against the single most inept politician I have ever seen....Gray Davis. Well...Most inept right behind Simon, that is.
What SUCKS is that you're about to take the rest of the California Republican Party with you. I hope you're all happy with Gray Davis as your Govenor for another 4 years...You all DESERVE him!!
Yep. They've used the same tactic on GOP candidates for the past ten years - no coverage unless its negative. And certainly no substantive coverage of the issues.
Simon has done alot right - he's used talk radio far more than did Lundgren or Wilson - and little wrong except make a couple of novice mistakes that cracked the door open enough for the media to plunge in with their leftwing agenda.
I despise all mainstream media whores.
With all your CA-bashing comments you must really be envious of us Golden Staters. Is life really so bad for you in your Indiana trailer park?
I bash you clowns because you're backing a sure LOSER who is probably going to hurt my party, and the best you can do is bash the state in which I reside?
Weak...Liberal-like weak.
