    Flap mentioned in January that he heard from a California Republican activist that former California Republican Gubernatorial nominee Bill Simon was planning to run for Lt. Governor in 2010.

    Now, the word is out in the MSM that Simon is considering the race.

    Speaking of the lieutenant governor’s race, one-time GOP nominee for governor Bill Simon is also said to be considering the race.

    Simon lost in 2002 as then-Gov. Gray Davis won reelection, but the wealthy businessman may be eyeing a political comeback. Talk of his return to politics has heated up since he told the Wall Street Journal back in December that he might run for statewide office again.

    His would-be primary opponent, Sen. Jeff Denham, R-Atwater, holds a check-collecting event in Salinas with country-music singer Sara Evans today.

    Donors are asked for $1,000 per ticket or $6,500 to co-sponsor the fundraiser for Denham’s 2010 bid for lieutenant governor.

    Bill Simon will have a leg up in this race against Jeff Denham.

    Why?

    • Simon can self-fund the millions needed for a statewide media campaign
    • Simon has name recognition from his 2002 race for Governor which he barely lost to Democrat Gray Davis who was later recalled from office and replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
    • Simon is a successful businessman and attorney who when paired with either Meg Whitman or Steve Poizner would make an excellent Governor/Lt. Governor ticket for the California GOP.

    Bill Simon to Run for California Lieutenant Governor?

    A California Republican activist has revealed to Flap that Bill Simon will be a candidate for California Lieutenant Governor in 2010.

    Yes, it is possible.

    Simon would have a clear field in the GOP primary election and incumbent Lt. Governor John Garamendi is rumored to be leaving the office to run for Governor on the Democrat side.

    A team of Poizner – Simon both businessmen promising to revitalize California’s economy works for Flap and likely California voters.

    However, Simon has to first set up his campaign committee which at this time he has not.
