One More Reason That Bill Jones Will Lose Today's Primary

California Republican gubernatorial primary candidate Bill Jones has had his web site shut down by his service provider because he was sending out spam.

Boo hoo.

"I have concerns about an Internet provider who is stifling free political speech a week before the election," said Sean Walsh, Jones' deputy campaign manager. "This is an intelligent, thoughtful and appropriate way to campaign."

Let's parse this. For "...stifling free political speech..." read "...unwilling to involuntarily spew millions of spam emails to people who aren't even eligible to vote..." For "intelligent, thoughtful and appropriate" read "...obnoxious, stupid, and counter-productive..."

With idiots like this running his campaign, it's no wonder he's tanking.

My money's still on Simon. And I have hopes for him in the general election as well.

I got one of those letters from Mr. Jones. Mr. Jones needs a geography lesson, a civics lesson or better spam software insofar as I live in the great state of Missouri,the citizens of which are not entitled to vote in California primaries.
