- The Huffington Post's Sam Stein talked to Simon about the Obama "bitter" comments in "Before Bitter-Gate: What Obama Said Hours Earlier About Guns."  In the article, Simon noted that, "The Obama campaign was able to use the gas tax issue to pivot and talk about the broader struggles of everyday people and they were able to do it in a way that had previously been hard to them... whatever happened in those magic hours when they produced those spots, they made it abundantly clear that Sen. Obama understood what the average voter was going through."
