May The Worst Candidate Win

Here's a report on the little-publicized debate between Gray Davis and Bill Simon earlier this week.

I found this quote interesting. George Skelton (of the LA Times, aka Davis campaign central) called Simon the "worst gubernatorial candidate in California history." Could be.

He should capitalize on this. The campaign theme should be that, while he's a lousy candidate, but successful businessman, Davis is the worst governor in California history. It gets back to my earlier point--those who are best at winning elections aren't necessarily best at governing.

California voters have a choice. Do they want a good candidate, or do they want a good (or at least not as dictatorial, corrupt and incompetent) governor?

Richard's right. That's why I defected.
