Businessman and former Republican Gubernatorial nominee Bill Simon, Jr., has endorsed Meg Whitman in her campaign for the Republican nomination for Governor. Simon will serve as a Co-Chairman of Whitman’s campaign, and as a Senior Policy Advisor.
"Meg Whitman’s success in business grew from her conservative fical principles and solutions-based leadership," says Simon about Whitman. "Meg believes lower taxes and smaller, more efficient and effective government will generate jobs and bring prosperity back to California. Her beliefs and experience make her the best candidate to lead California’s economic recovery."
Simon’s endorsement is most significant because in his campaign for Governor in 2002, he ran in both the primary and general elections as an unubashed conservative, endearing himself to many of the State GOP’s grassroots activists.

Jon: Simon ran for Governor in 2002, not 1992! Correction needs to be made.

It’s good to build support. She gained a voter and maybe a contribution. However, endorsements by elected officials and past candidates don’t win primaries. It’s the message from the candidates. What is Meg’s message?

Why will any pro-gun voter vote for Meg Whitman – or for that matter the atrocious Steve Poizner or Tom Campbell?
All have made antigun utterances or demonstrated antigun business practices.
The CA Republican party seems to think they can take the pro-gun vote for granted – but I think we’ll stay home.

Meg Whitman makes Sara Palin look like Socrates or Plato….she is a political lightweight who “thinks it would be nice to be governor” like the muscle bound flip flopper we have now….
