LOL! Bill Simon doing only marginally better than Gary Coleman....

Simon: 2,209 votes
Coleman: 1,759 votes

10.6 percent of the precincts reporting. This was the best candidate the repigs could offer in the regular election, hence their need to abuse the recall provision and steal power by any means possible.

1. Sad for Coleman that is

Simon dropped out months ago while Coleman continued "plugging" away...

2. I didn't realize Simon was in the race

3. he's still on the ballot....

...despite having dropped out. Still, I see his abysmal failure in the 2002 election as one reason for the repig recall effort, so it's nice to see him polling in Coleman's league.
