Perhaps, but the latest Field Poll shows that Davis has little advantage among women. He has 43% per the Field Poll, and 43% among women. Where is the outrage about Simon being "anti-abortion rights" or "anti-pro choice" (Davis REALLY said that!)
Methinks the abortion issue is a wash. The pro-aborts and the pro-lifers who are passionate and single issue are split 50/50. No gain on either side (though it would fatally damage Simon to flip to a pro-abort position. Fortunately, he's solidly pro-life). And single issue pro-lifers edged out single-issue pro-aborts in the Lungren/Davis race in 1998 by a point.
Anyway, my point is that Davis IS NOT getting a benefit from his rabid pro-abort, kill all babies in the womb if you want to, position.
People CARE about the economy, people CARE about the net loss of $35 billion ($13 billion surplus to a $22 billion deficit), people CARE that they are paying nearly 50% more for energy than neighboring states, people CARE that public schools are failing, people CARE that test scores are down and all the education establish does to fix it is give teacher's more money and change the tests so it doesn't look as bad. And, while they're at it, put more kids on Ritalin to keep them drugged and compliant.
People CARE, Mr. Davis, that you are a megalomaniac, do anything to win, big government LIBERAL!
DUMP DAVIS!
