I really think this whole "whore" thing has actually hurt Whitman more than Brown. Everytime it is mentioned, it is explained that Brown's campaign called Whitman a whore after it was discovered that Whitman receieved the endorsement of a public employee union (LAPPL) by promising to protect the interests of the union. A major theme of the campaign this year has been "Who will be the toughest on public employee unions?"
It’s being reported as fact that Whitman made that deal,
but Brown was assuming that she did, question is, did
she really strike a deal, she says no.
