California: Call me a hopeless romantic, but I still think that Bill Simon has a shot at besting Gray Doofus. Doofus has approval ratings in the 40s, which is dreadful for an incumbent.

In the words of that great philosopher... Alfred E. Neuman

"Who? Me, Worry?"

November 6th, without the support of his own party leadership for the most part and a media that would dump on Mother Teresa if they deemed it prudent to do so to elect liebrals, Bill Simon will be able to smile into the cameras, wink, and say ..

"You've been Simonized!"

Keep the Faith and GOTV!!!

I wrote to Stephen Moore this morning... note start of 2nd paragraph: the three most important races are the gubernatorial races in FL, NY, TX, and CA...

Last time I counted that was four races.

Very sloppy.

Go Simon!

BTW, anyone from Colorado? Is Bill Owens as good as NRO says?

Didn't see NM listed. I am afraid we are going to get that sorry RAT Richardson win this one. We have a big problem w/ dead voters and illegals here in NM. It is a real shame because John Sanchez is a good guy and a pro-life fiscal conservative as well.

Arguably, the three most-important elections on November 5 will be the gubernatorial races in California, Florida, New York, and Texas.

Based on their counting skills, I'm a little leery of these predictions... :-p

RI not listed either. I posted the following on another thread earlier today. Race is between Myrth York (D) and Don Carcieri (R)
-----
York will lose. Dems will **NOT** get a pick-up for governor from RI.

I watched Carcieri last nite on a local PBS show w/ local media--York refused to come. (word is that she didn't want to be asked about where her money comes from--an issue in the past few weeks) It was a roundatable w/ the Journal's top political columnist, Charlie Bakst, plus a TV commentator, and one of the local talk show hosts. It was amazing to watch. The relaxed confidence coming from Carcieri and the post-election attitude of all of them was stunning. Carceiri was engaging, relaxed, talking about the state budget and what needs to be done, but he talked as if he were the governor-elect instead of a candidate. Bakst, too, treated him as if his win was a sure thing. Bakst pushed Carcieri about his internal polls and he said he was up by 10.

Then this morning on one of the local talk shows, again there was this sense of the race being all over. Carcieri called in and was chatty and relaxed. He was asked about his coming win, but of course he deferred. York was also called but she hadn't returned calls. The conversation easily moved to all the mistakes York made. Buddy Cianci, who's the best when it comes to RI politics, said one of York's big mistakes was going so negative on Carcieri w/ over-the-top accusations. He said this bad advice from York's consultant was a disaster.

Wait till you hear this. York's consultant is Mandy Grunwald.

They forgot about Massachusetts too and Romney (R) is virtually neck-and-neck with Shannon O-Brien (S). If Romney can pull it out, it will be the fourth straight GOP gubernatorial win for the Bay State (and you thought we were all socialists around here). A Socialist hasn't won the governorship here since Mike Dukakis (remember him?) back in 1986.

Right you are. Not only leading, but doing so in the Star-Tribune poll which notoriously oversamples Democrats.

A Bush-Owens in 2008? Aren't there anyone else but the Bushes, Clintons or Doles? Answer- probably not when your government is an oligarchy & the "Two-Party Cartel" is a charade controlled soley by the elites.
