On Principles & Values: Exits race to avoid splitting GOP vote

Bill Simon, Republican son of the US Treasury secretary under Presidents Nixon and Ford, William E. Simon, dropped out of California’s gubernatorial recall race yesterday. The move appeared to have improved the position of Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor and current frontrunner.

“I strongly believe that the desire of Californians must come before the aspirations of any single candidate,” Simon said in a statement. Polls have found that Schwarzenegger was leading the Republicans, but was still running neck-and-neck with the leading Democrat among the replacement candidates, Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante.
