Meg Whitman's Republican rival calls her a liberal. He's not even close.
Political writers often describe her as moderate. That misses the mark too.
Supporting abortion rights -- even state funding of abortions for the poor -- doesn't automatically make her a moderate. Not when she's prepared to whack benefits for welfare moms -- slash almost any program -- to avoid raising taxes.
She opposes same-sex marriage but supports recognizing those unions allowed before Proposition 8 passed. That doesn't make her a moderate either. Not when she insists on eliminating 40,000 state jobs.
Whitman unquestionably is a fiscal conservative, despite the rhetoric of opponent Steve Poizner, who keeps moving right in a failed attempt to outflank her in the fight for the GOP gubernatorial nomination. The Field Poll last week found Whitman leading Poizner by an astounding 62% to 15% among Republican strong conservatives.

I can’t tolerate that much stupid in one place. That kind of stupid ought to be fatal.
When you aren't pushing Romney, you are pushing Whitman, did JR take your advice and stop posting those "Romney videos" that you complained about in your vanity thread?

Anyone who says Meg Whitman is a conservative, needs to have their head examined. Whitman is a liberal Republican. Another Schwarzenegger, Giuliani, Romney.
By electing Whitman, Kalifornia is assured of getting shafted again.
More candidate choosing by the Democrat owned “press”.
(Actually it would seem like we do... Michael Steele)
So what’s it like working for the Whitman campaign?
Anyone who is a fan of communist Van Jones is a moron. See: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Eh?
If you will take the time to read the article, the writer is complaining because Meg Whitman is MUCH TOO CONSERVATIVE.
Correct. It makes her a Nancy Pelosi/Harry Reid comrade. I don't call that “moderate”.
fwiw-
There is no such thing as a moderate and Whitman is not conservative period. She is a Rat.
I guess you will be supporting Jerry Brown in November. Good luck with that!
Incredible. Thirty-eight million people in the state of California & Whitman is the best we can do?
How come there are Mitt Romney videos everywhere on FR?AlanD
Still trolling I see. First you were pushing Myth, now Whitman. Let me guess, you probably think the GOP would have won if 2008 if Rooty had been the nominee?
Hey troll, what exactly is a "Republican strong conservative"?
Who sent you in here to try to push the Republican=conservative line?
Damn straight. I won’t be voting for the worthless bee ach!
