The usual 'pox on both houses' types say that California's governor's race has been "lacking in a discussion of the issues." Gee, which candidate spent the whole summer attacking a civil jury verdict and tax returns, and talking about a single issue (abortion) that has nearly nothing to do with the job of California governor? Davis has the discussion right where he wants it. It's Simon who desperately needs the discussion to be about Davis' record on economics, education and similar issues.
