Simon Out

CNN is now confirming an AP story cited earlier today by Kevin Drum: CNN.com - Simon to drop out of governor's race

A spokesman for Bill Simon told CNN the Republican will announce Saturday that he is dropping out of the recall race for governor of California.

"I will confirm he will be withdrawing in the interest of the Republican Party," the spokesman said in a telephone interview.

Very interesting.
