SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — Several Republican heavyweights will join gubernatorial hopeful Meg Whitman in California for a series of campaign fundraisers.
Her political mentor and previous boss, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, will join Whitman at events this week in Irvine, Los Angeles, Sacramento and Redwood City.
She also will be joined at some of the events by former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and Sen. John McCain.

Interesting to watch the ads and campaign signs in California as we approach the primary. For example, two people running for state assembly, one identifies himself as a republican, the other as a conservative. TV attack ads for governor candidates are all about who is more conservative.
Whitman a RINO, probably. But I received a detailed platform statement from her campaign last week (no expense spared by the Billionaire), and I was very impressed for a RINO. For example, NO Amnesty, Cut Government Spending and Eliminate Obstacles for Business Creation, etc... California needs some tough medicine and based on her campaign so far, she’s saying more of the right things.
Wait a minute. She's worth $1 Billion and she still needs fundraisers?
This is to watch the Republican establishment walking around like dead people taking over a dead State. Meg Whitman has no principles. She just wants to be somebody. She doesn’t care who or what she is or the State she wants to take control of. She just wants to control something, anything.
When are they going to learn that we will NOT vote for ANY RINO’S?

There is a conservative to vote for, although the chances are about nil. His name is Larry Naratelli. He has been addressing Tea Party groups and is saying the right things, such as favoring abolishing the CA Air Resources Board, which would go a long way toward solving CA’s economic woes.
Sigh. who cares? Anyone who actually wants to be governor of a train wreck like California is a saint.
Never heard of the guy, and his name is spelled “Naritelli”.
I’m looking for someone that stands some tiny chance of defeating Whitman, that is why McClintock endorsed Poizner instead of Naritelli.
Honestly? I’m starting to get irritated with both of them.
And anybody who has a problem with that and isn’t living in California, get lost. You don’t have to watch these bozos trading bad commercials every night.
Whitman IS a RINO. RINO’s are Leftists only slightly incognito. Leftist’s as Democrats, and RINO’s are liars.
She will do as all of the Leftists historically do, and that is run her campaign of lies preaching Conservative values, and once elected make a hard Left turn as she extends the bird to all in the process.
The Leftists, Dems, RINO’s have no morals, no scruples. It’s called whatever it takes for them to win.
Unfortunately, we are in the position of voting for the candidate we dislike least. If that candidate is Poizner, can he defeat Brown? If he can, will he or can he do anything to reverse the downward economic slide?
We are in such a condition that the real question may be- Who do we want at the helm when the ship sinks?
I don't buy that kind of thinking, the ship never really sinks, perceptions adjust and nobody really pays politically, at least not the Democrats.
My thinking is to always win every election that you can, because 4 years in power is better than turning those 4 years of power over to the other side and merely hoping and wishing for some fantasy plan to unfold.
Even in view of my above post, I may not be able to vote for such a creature as Meg Whitman.
I can’t say that I am sure that I won’t, because I said that in 1992 with HW Bush and when I was in the booth punching holes, at the last second I voted for Bush because it seemed stupid to not make myself do that 2 second action, since I was already standing their with the poker and ballot in my hand.
If it is close, it is conceivable that I might not be able to not vote against Jerry Brown.
I just can’t take a vow yet on how I will be thinking on election day, oddly, I won’t be voting for anyone in the primary (I’m an Independent).
If it is close, it is conceivable that I might not be able to not vote against Jerry Brown.

I suffered through Governor Moonbeam the last time and I surely won’t vote for him. But I’m not sure who is more liberal, him or Whitman. Poizner is a conservative for the purposes of this election only. I consider Whitman a lib and Poizner a RINO moderate. Even if we had a Jon Voigt running, I don’t think, given the status of the state assembly and senate that anything meaningful could be accomplished. The only way progress could be made is if there was a strong conservative candidate who could bring in with him/her other strong conservatives. In CA, they are lacking.
Since it seems an exercise in futility to agonize over the governor’s race, I’ll focus on Chuck DeVore in the Senate race and vote Naritelli for Governor on principle.
