I’m not impressed with Whitman at all. If I still lived in California, I know I wouldn’t vote for her. I don’t think she will solve California’s problems, and she lacks basic Conservative principles.

All the above comments are probably true, but this is Jerry Brown we are talking about here. Yeah, THAT Jerry Brown. California's probably just like New York. You very, very rarely get true conservatives elected to state wide political positions, so the Republicans that win statewide positions are usually not real conservatives.
However bad Meg Whittman is, she can't be as bad as Jerry Brown. That guy really gives me nightmares. He'd make 0bama look like a conservative.
