Simon Admits He”s “Not Perfect”

Republican governor candidate Bill Simon is airing television ads in which he admits, “I´m not perfect.” The unusual 30-second biographical ads come as he tries to jump-start his campaign five weeks before Election Day. Simon´s decision to acknowledge his delays in releasing his tax returns, investment fraud allegations against his family´s business, and a political firestorm over his views on gay rights comes days after he rejected the ad in favor of a more positive one. But it´s left Simon denying to reporters that he is apologizing for any specific personal flaws.
