And, from the SF Chronicle"

Whitman closes gender gap with Dems

Carla Marinucci, Chronicle Political Writer

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has nearly erased Democrats' historic "gender gap" advantage with women voters in California, a new Field Poll shows, but she remains tied with state Attorney General Jerry Brown despite her record-shattering $119 million in personal spending.

. . .
With female voters evenly divided between the two candidates, at 41 percent each, Whitman is "negating the Democratic advantage among female voters, who have voted for Democrats by double-digit margins over the last 20 years," DiCamillo said. "A female Republican is making it an even race; there's no gender gap at all."

This stalemate is insane..... we are talking about our state of affairs which have been led by Dimcraps in Sacramento for decades and it has turned us into a laughing stock. A broke state of ideas and fiscal malaise. ENOUGH! Right? Duh? A tie with old f*rt no ideas Jerry Brown? Disgusting.

Never have we had such terrible choices. The more they saturate the airwaves, the more people dislike both of them.

From the Field Poll (PDF):

"Despite massive media coverage and unprecedented campaign expenditures made by the candidates, the only statistically significant change in the governor’s race since July relates to a slight increase in the proportion (18%) of voters who are undecided or say they are not inclined to vote for either candidate."
