Help!
I’m drowning on this one!
And Meg Whitman appears to be capable of saying anything to anybody to win the nomination. She was a big giver to dem candidates and reportedly stumped for Barbara Boxer. Her war chest is large & she appears willing to by the nomination ala Arnold.
Experience = Whitman
My primary rationale is that Mrs. Whitman (or is it Miz?) has a chance of beating Jerry Moon-Beam in the Gubernatorial race. I see Poznier as having Zero chance...
Neither is a good choice.
I, too, am torn on who to vote for in this particular race.
I will say, that after reading the propositions, I believe they should all be voted down. They’re sort of interesting this election. They all seem sort of innocuous, but if you read them, and read who financed them, and think logically about them, they’re junk.
Also, I’m voting for DeVore. And the judges, whom I know nothing about, I’m leaving blank.
Don’t forget, if you’re not sure or don’t know, LEAVE IT BLANK!
1. He is supported by Tom McClintock. McClintock is the one who should be running for governor. Someday when he gets more notoriety and California is in even more desparate shape he will run and get elected. For now we have to settle for Poindexter.
2. Poizner has made illegal immigration his main concern. He may have flip-flopped in the past, but he is painting himself into a corner and will most likely have to act on his campaign slogans.
The only downsides to Poizner is that he really isn't all that conservative, but neither is Meg. Also, he didn't always prostrate himself in front of Jarvis and Prop 13.
Prop 13 might have started out as a good idea, but the Democrats have so twisted the tax code at the state and local levels that Prop 13 is now doing almost the exact opposite of what was intended: it is not lowering the overall tax burden of Californians, and it is just making the tax code more complex and favorable to special interests.
Also, Neocondoleeza Rice and Mitt "Romneycare" Romney just came out in favor of Meg. When Charlie Crist announces his support is anybody's guess.
The only reason to vote for Meg in my mind is if you are so afraid of another Moonbeam governorship and you believe that enough women will vote for Meg just cuz she's a woman that it will turn the tide in the Pubbies favor.
I'm almost hoping that Brown wins, inherits a complete disaster, and is forced to face reality or else get recalled and replaced by McClintock ... or even Mary Carey!
They’re both RINOs. I’m sorry.
Not much to chose from between those two. That being said I voted for Meg as the best chance to beat SEIU Brown. In the Senate race I voted for Chuck Devore. Absentee Ballot here.
They both suck.
I voted Poizner because McClintock, clearly knowing both candidates’ flaws, picked Poizner — and very vocally.
Although the Jarvis group’s endorsement of WHitman carries some weight, let’s not forget their last gubernatorial endorsement: Schwarzenegger.
Romney endorsed Whitman.
Tom McClintoc(sp) endorsed Poizner.
That might help you.
Ugh, neither one. I cannot wait until those ridiculous commercials stop.
If Poizner doesn’t stop robo-calling me I’m gonna hunt him down and skin him alive.
That contest is a “lose-lose” situation.
My guess - - strictly a guess, based on perusing threads here at FR - - is that Poizner is the bigger liar and scumbag of the two.
Good luck.
I posted this on another thread, might as well put it here too:
The Poizner campaign is to a very great extent a referendum on illegal immigration as an issue.
If he loses, those who want to profit from illegal activity in one way or another wont shut up about it. And, that will have an impact on you whether you know it or not.
Whatever your other issues, this one is more important.
