California Secretary of State Campaign Finance: Edmund G. Brown (Jerry)
Why is it that when I look at Brown I don’t think “fresh.” Brown must be in trouble, only the losers complain about the money this early.
I remember Chief Justice Rose Bird, that the voters had to turn out, appointed by Jerry Brown. Why so? Because she was stopping capital punishment.
Not to mention Brown has never had a real job in his life.
So if a megamillionaire can beat him by using her own money, go for it.
If she is imperfect, she is nonetheless far better for California.
Sounds good to me—A politician who does not owe anyone any favors!!!
What’s wrong with spending your own money? Isn’t it better than making promises to “God-knows-who” in exchange for contributions.
Bloomberg spent his money to win one city vs her spending to blanket an entire state. I would call Bloomberg the spending champ by a mile.
In fairness to Whitman, the moderate-to-conservative voters in CA are spread out all over the state, in the suburbs and rural areas, forcing her to spend money just EVERYwhere, not just in big cities, etc.
In contrast, NYC is a pretty compact place.
Buying an election. Sad! McCain did too.
