21. No, Simon is what will keep Arnold from winning

Simon will split off enough conservative voters (who don't like Arnold's position on social issues) to make it possible to defeat Arnold. This will work for the Dems only if there's one Dem candidate on the ballet, and everyone unites behind them.

Karl Rove has two choices to deal with this scenerio:

1) get a high profile Green to declare (Tim Robbins? Susan Sarandon?) to split the progressive vote, and

2) lean on Simon VERY heavily to withdraw, and not run.


Simon should probably stay out of small airplanes for the duration of the campaign.
