The $78 million fraud verdict

The $78 million fraud verdict against the investment firm owned in part by California gubernatorial candidate Bill Simon has been thrown out by the trial judge. Even before this development, the most recent polling showed Simon running ahead of Governor Gray Davis among those considered most likely to vote. In the same poll, 56% of Californians said they want a new governor. The Davis/Simon race is far from over.
