One of the three independent expenditure groups that recently popped up to target GOP gubernatorial frontrunner Meg Whitman is going on the air with its first radio spot.
The spot, produced by Level The Playing Field , criticizes Whitman for trying to "crown" herself governor by pledging to spend hundreds of millions on the race and siding with corporate interests with her support of repealing California's landmark greenhouse gas reduction law, AB32.

Sounds like “Level the Playing Field” is just another ACORN-style, commie lib group.
Democratic campaign slogan:
Let us Democrats continue to run California. Our plans have obviously been working for the past 35 years.
“sigh”
Getting on the greenhouse gas bandwagon at this point seems self-defeating. Go for it, lefties...
Better for a DIM like Jerry Brown to file bankruptcy in 2010 then a REP...so onward to victory for the most worthless politician that CA has ever seen...go Jerry go..Do for CA as you did for Oakland...
They'll likely spend $100mil on the governor's race alone.
AHA! So once again the Left chooses our candidate. In essence they are saying by their assault on Whitman, and as they site a specific Whitmanism in their assault that she is the one.
We should fool them and run Poizner.

On Saturday, the San Jose Mercury News reported that Meg Whitman's personal foundation has donated thousands of dollars to protect the delta smelt - a revelation that seriously calls into question Whitman's credibility on water issues and her credibility with voters in the Central Valley.
In 2007, Whitman donated $100,000 to the Environmental Defense Fund's Center for California Rivers and Deltas. The Environmental Defense Fund is a liberal group that proudly advocates for the rights of the Delta Smelt over the rights of our farmers in the Central Valley.
A donation to the Environmental Defense Fund is bad enough, but directly contributing to the EDF's main efforts to steal water away from the Central Valley is unacceptable for a supposed "Republican" running for Governor.
It might be worth giving Whitman the benefit of the doubt on this issue if this was an isolated incident, but this isn't an isolated incident - it's a pattern.
After contributing to the EDF in 2007, Whitman went on a climate change cruise in 2008 with Van Jones and Jimmy Carter to study global warming. Following the cruise, Whitman and her liberal friends issued a joint statement calling for "substantial cuts in greenhouse gas emissions" and "actions at all levels of government."
In fact, Whitman was so impressed by the cruise and her new friend Van Jones that she went out of her way to praise him afterwards saying that she was a "huge fan" of Van Jones.
Whitman's radical environmental associations and donations makes one wonder exactly how she would govern on environmental issues...
All of these revelations, along with the recent news that Whitman endorsed and contributed to Barbara Boxer in 2004, is bad news for a campaign that continues to stumble as more is revealed about Whitman's liberal record on important issues facing the Central Valley.
