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!
