Pop up some corn, and settle back in the comfy chair. It's going to be a fun campaign for governor in California.

"I'm going to knock Gray Davis' and (Davis adviser) Garry South's teeth out with their own record," Rollins said. "This is going to be a donnybrook."

The strategy, he said, will be to skewer Davis on his own record and "make the story of (the governor's) failure so severe that people will walk in, in those closing days, and say, 'yes' to Bill Simon."

A few weeks back, Simon said "Gray Davis once said that a governor who doesn't improve education should not run for reelection. There are some things that Governor Davis and I agree on."

One might add a few other issues to education, also.
