I know it’s a bold prediction, especially in light of the poll numbers from the LA Times and the Field Poll, but Meg Whitman is about to take Jerry Brown to the mat. Here’s why: 1. Rasmussen has moved the race from Leans Democrat to Toss-up as of their latest report. It’s back in the margin of error of 4 points, at 49 to 45 in favor of Brown.

Aha, except for mine 8^). Seriously though, the dems are running scared, the repubs are not, and attitude says a lot.If Brown was truly up by 10-14, why would Clinton, Obama, et. al, be here? There aren't many states that have been more blue than CA, yet they're pulling out all the stops.

And, anecdotal: We get 2-3 calls a day from a Republican (Chris Christie about 10 mins. ago), maybe 1 a week from Dems.

In CA you get every welfare person, government employee and union person and their families voting Democrat even if it was for a convicted murderer.
They are voting their wallets, and Democrats have been constantly expanding welfare, gov employee welfare and union.

That is a lot to overcome.
I think they are unethical, but you have to respect them as opponents.

We also need to end the unions as they now exist.
