The Chronicle has a story on the Riordan write-in campaign (Riordan write-in candidacy urged / Some think Simon may drop out of race)
But, “the guys who know Simon best say that he’s not the type of personality to get out of the race,” he said.
And Simon would be even less likely to bow out if Riordan was the person to get in. The former mayor encouraged Simon to run for governor — then jumped into the GOP primary himself. When Simon began overhauling Riordan’s fading campaign in the days before the March election, Riordan went on a personal attack, calling Simon a liar and a “sanctimonious hypocrite.”
“Simon is not going to get out of the way for Dick Riordan,” Spillane said. “The party’s conservatives would not let him get out of the way.”
Somebody needs to have a heart-to-heart talk with Simon.
When the republican party allows gov. davis to hand pick the candidate he will run against, they are in big trouble. fiscally conservative, socially moderate is the mood of the electorate and can win elections. Riordan is the closest to this who has name recognition. A major wright in campaign is in order!!!
