L. A. Times columnist George Skelton touts Gray Davis’ attack ads on Richard Riordan:
…it’s easy to understand why Davis couldn’t resist smacking Riordan after he watched an old TV interview of Riordan calling abortion “murder.”
Riordan’s currently running in a primary where his opponents are hitting him for not being conservative and pro-life enough to be the Republican nominee for Governor, so all Davis’ ads are doing is helping him win the nomination. As for the charges that Riordan has donated to extreme causes, you can list Davis among them since Riordan gave him money as well.
I’m surprised Skelton is falling this this, since he’s the second-most respected political coomentator in California, after Dan Walters. Davis’ poll numbers continue to slide and he’s getting desperate, and doing stupid things. This man has “one-term governor” written all over him.
I’m a diehard Dem who won’t vote for Davis. This could actually be my first vote for a Republican… (if it’s Riordan)
Good for you Oliver – I’m glad you’re coming back to the Party of Lincoln.
