"Whitman accepts Brown's apology"

After one of Democrat candidate Jerry Brown's staffers referred to Whitman as a whore, Brown took responsibility and apologized. Supposedly Whitman has moved on, telling people she just wants to "Talk about the issues." Luckily for Meg Whitman, this recent scandal has stepped into the spotlight letting her "illegal immigrant employee" leave the stage. The final weeks of the election are coming up and I suppose the state and nation will have to wait and see what happens.

I think that Meg Whitman is hypocrite. Yes, it is wrong to call anyone a whore, but her whole campaign is about attacking Jerry Brown. After watching the gubernatorial debate I do not understand her tactics. She referenced her "plan" so much, but did not explain or enlighten the audience. If she continues basing her want of political success on bashing, she will not go far, I hope. What is wrong with politics these days?

Forget it and move on!

"Jerry Brown to Meg Whitman"

This week I decided to choose a quote from one of the candidates for governor, speaking out against another. Jerry Brown, in response to the Meg Whitman scandal involving her past employee said, "Don't run for governor if you can't stand up on your own two feet and say 'Hey, I made a mistake, I'm sorry, let's go on from here.'"

Many things have been said between the governors, but I haven't heard much coming from Jerry Brown. I liked that he addressed the situation and made it seem like Whitman needs to get over the whole dilemma and just move on - which is what she needs to do. He made a statement that implying she cannot hide behind her money this time.

What is Meg Whitman trying to buy?

"What Does Meg Whitman's $120 Million Really Buy?"

Republican nominee for the governor of California, Meg Whitman, had already put $119 million into her campaign. The question is what is she trying to buy, because she hasn't bought much of anything so far. Whitman wants to lower taxes and reform the state's education system. She is making a effort to reach out to the state's Latino population which is estimated at 15% - 20% of the electorate. Her campaign is using "microtargeting" software that helps create calls and mailings so voters can get specific information. Now, the question we need to ask ourselves is, are we buying what Meg Whitman is selling?

I don't think Whitman's money is getting her anywhere. According to the article she is at a toss-up with hr opponent Jerry Brown. Like most populations these days, it seems the only things keeping her campaign going are her scandals and attention on her fortune. Oh, the age we live in!
