The two major candidates for California governor head into their final televised showdown tonight with a "woman" problem dogging their campaigns - Republican Meg Whitman for her treatment of her undocumented maid, and Democrat Jerry Brown for a staffer's use of a sexist slur in referring to his opponent.

Tonight's debate at Dominican University in San Rafael will be moderated by veteran television journalist and former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw.

So, the hard left lamestream media icon Brokaw is “moderating” the debate. That certainly seems fair and objective. So, now, Whitman will have to watch out for deceptive questions as well as answers.

“Tonight’s debate at Dominican University in San Rafael will be moderated by veteran television journalist and former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw.”

Whitman will be facing a two on one tag team. Brokaw probably has a questions to prepared to ask Whitman specifically designed to save Brown’s butt.

A “staffer’s” use of the slur... Riiiiiight.
Meg doesn’t have a “woman problem.”
She has an “illegal alien problem.”
Whether she wins or loses now depends on how many illegals vote in California this election.

Her treatment of her maid? WTF, she paid her $23 an hour for Pete’s sake. I would be happy to be treated so shabbily. Hey Brown, I’ll come over and clean your mansion and you can even call me a whore if you want just pay me!

Whitman her staff and the so called press let the geezer of the hook on Whoregate . You can hear the old fool using the W word. For a few bucks Meg could have had a voice expert prove the obvious .

I think it will come back up again in about 2 weeks, with decisive evidence that it was Jerry Brown himself that said “whore”.
It’s what it going to dominate the race going into election day.

That is 44 grand which sounds good but not certainly in California. However, I do believe this story is just ridiculous and will die on the vine and won’t even be an issue with the voters.

$44 grand for a housekeeper is good anywhere! I was saying it tongue and cheek. It hardly classifies as mistreatment or slave wages does it?

I'd first demand that Jer Brown REMOVE his wife from the venue ~ forcefully if necessary ~ before the debate would commence.

She needs to HUMILIATE this walking POS first ~

Unfortunately, Meg will probably be well-mannered.
It is past time to take the gloves off!!
And that applies to all Republicans.

Similarly, I haven't watched more than twenty seconds of Barack Obama since he started running for the Presidency. It has saved my family a not inconsiderable amount of property damage.
