Looks like a regular Hog Roast in California… Meg Whitman spent $141 million of her own money, and Carly Fiorina spent $40 million
It is looking more and more like the MSM’s propagandized Republican sweep…
Pigs Get Fed... Hogs Get Eaten
Got swept out from under them.
Jerry Brown’s lead doubles in a month; little change in Senate race
…Brown, the Democratic attorney general and former governor, led Whitman 52% to 39% among likely voters, the poll found. His advantage has more than doubled since aTimes/USC poll in September.
The abrupt movement in the race for governor came as Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer held onto her 8-point margin over Republican Carly Fiorina in the U.S. Senatecontest. Boxer’s 50% to 42% lead was statistically unchanged from September’s 51% to 43% edge.
For both Democrats, the month between the two polls found the party’s strongest supporters rallying to the candidates’ sides: liberals, women and Latinos either solidified or expanded their backing for Brown and Boxer. Nonpartisan voters, whom Republicans had counted on to overcome the Democratic advantage in voter registration, moved away from the two Republican candidates, and moderate voters also tilted toward the Democrats.
Paula Bennett, a schoolteacher in the Sacramento-area town of Acampo, said she was drawn to Brown in part by the blizzard of cash Whitman has thrown at the race.
“I like the little guy; he didn’t have the money behind him like she did,” she said in a follow-up interview, adding that she sided with Brown for the same reason that she favors a mom-and-pop establishment over a retail behemoth.
“We don’t shop at Walmart. We shop at the local store. He just seemed like more of a down-home candidate.”

See, Whitman could have greater effect spending a hundred and fifty million to demonstrate she could improve educational performance in a low performing school district or create permanent jobs in a high unemployment region. Or do something to ease rent, which for most Californians is too damn high. She would be swept into office by affirmation if she did that.
Instead, comes off as a bored little rich girl who now wants to be governor as stepping stone top being president. Modern politics, however, forces candidates not to be true to their nature. Whitman is not some hardcore, stand watch at the border anti-illegal immigrationist, but had to assume that position as a republican candidate. So sad the state of modern politics.

What is the deal with the women GOP governor candidates and their crime propensity sons. Arizona’s Jan Brewer AKA Punky Brewster son (Ronald Brewer) is in jail for kidnapping and sexual assault and California’s Meg Whitman, AKA NutMeg son (Griffith Rutherford Harsh V) was accused of sexually assaulting a female classmate at Princeton University and arrested for breaking a woman’s ankle in California during a bar brawl, no jail time, sweet. I guess these two have Mommy issues.
Nutmeg will lose as will Carly the tremendous failure of HP, don’t come crying to me if the GOP, keeps finding weak candidates, its like Mccain with the half-term Governor Palin all over again, what a joke that was, I mean comedian, talk show guest, commentator, now her new BS on the (of all places) The learning Channel, jack of all trades, master of none.
June 14, 2010, The New York Times, Ebay paid out $200,000 because Nutmeg assaulted an employee, so it’s not the first time she has mistreated an employee.
“The Whitman campaign issued a statement signed by Ms. Whitman that described Ms. Young Mi Kim as a “respected colleague and valuable asset to the company. In any high-pressure working environment, tensions can surface,” the statement said. ” Not quite a denial, what a fool she is.
I must say one thing about Nutmeg is that she is a good parrot and the cracker she wants is CA:

The only thing that would make this headline is if Rick Scott and Johnson lose in Florida and Wisconsin respectively.
I find it difficult to believe that anyone would vote for a candidate who spends tens of millions of their own money to buy a position in this economy and wanted to represent regular people. There is no way in heck that that candidate can relate to the common man.

Think Scott is toast in Florida. Latest poll has him up 2, which probably won’t sustain until the election.
Can’t figure out why Rand Paul is maintaining a lead…

I wouldn’t put anything past these crazy folks in Florida this year. It looks as if Rubio is going to walk away with the Senate seat but it was previously held by a Republican so no big loss there.
It’s scary to think that a crook like Scott could actually be competitive, but I guess if you have enough bucks then you can(almost) buy an election.
