Jerry Brown, Meg Whitman debate. & the winner is
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 9/28/10 | Debra J. Saunders

Jerry Brown.

Meg Whitman was too canned and promised too much.I am still waiting to see a sign that Whitman understands the issues a layer deeper than her consultant-driven talking points. And when you try to add up her promises, well, they don't add up.

I want a governor who will tell voters what they don't want to hear.

She is brilliant but she hired a very boring campaign manager who needs to fire up the base.

The real problem is that prop 19 which tries to legalize pot may send a bunch of losers to the polls.

Yep! She will make a good Governor of California.

I'm hoping she wins. She is what California needs at this time.

Every time I see her being interviewed on television, I am impressed.

I kept waiting for Whitman to say how she was going to do what she is promising. She did not take it to the next stepm.

I don’t buy the argument that experience in business is what it takes to run the government. Whole different set of dynamics, especially for someone that is used to directing a ship as a CEO.

I am not a supporter of Whitman so take that into account. I will sit this one out with my vote. I can’t vote for Whitman. It is more of what we have had with Arnold.

I hope you caught on to my sarcasm.

I am not stupid enough to wish a Brown win over
superstar businesswoman Whitman, even if she is not
pure.

She'll do anything and say anything to get elected as the last 8 months have shown, what do you think she'll do in office?

Hopefully, she'll surprise many people with the way she governs. One thing to remember, she will help boost the Republican candidate for president in 2012 in California, esp. Sarah Palin.

Kalifornia is going to get what it deserves for electing CommieCrate legislators for the past 30 years.
I was living in Kalifornia when Brown became governor the first time, and appointed housewife into critical administrative positions!
He richly deserves to be in the Captain’s seat when Kalifornia slides into the abyss.

A RINO is totally incapable of reversing Kalifornia’s trajectory, as Arnold has so convincingly demonstrated.

Did you see the trolls brought back the classic” Lets not vote and help the Dems win this one and we won't be blamed “ strategy.

How many times was that posted in 2008 !

Your right ,the out of staters deciding Cali is doomed so don't vote. let them try that brilliant idea in their own backyard.

Let me give it a try. Voters — we’re going to have to cut spending and stop taxing people so much.

Obviously. But that is much easier said than done. What does Whitman do with a legislature that is Dem? Seriously, what is the answer to that question?

Meg Whitman answers your question in the link to the video that I posted at #60.

A RINO might slow down death of California economy.
With Brown, it is like hiring Dr. Jack Kevorkian for helping
your sick mother recover.

Nutmeg is as liberal as one can be and still claim to be a Republican.

On what do you base your theory?

So let me get this straight. She lost the debate because she said what people wanted to hear...

In my book. But then I like FR where we get studied, substantive content, Who am I to say if dumbing down the issues works in a debate.

Cali does not need Moonbeam .
That nutter is the person directly responsible for the massive unions , massive pensions, awful roads, raiding the general fund,taxes ,and the media hides his entire history of disaster. This guy just killed off Oakland and he has the nerve to run for Gov again.

Yep! And I’m in Ohio and know what’s going on in California.

As California goes, so goes the nation.

Best wishes, California.

At least Whitman is a successful businesswoman.

What she did at eBay is not my definition of success.

Waving my hand. Third option in your list. Native Californian. Don’t like Whitman. Won’t support her. First governor I can remember is Reagan. His bumper sticker for Governor was on the bottom of my skateboard.

VETO VETO VETO everything .
The Dems can't tax and can't ram thru crazy bills from the like of sf gay nutter mark leno .

Believe it or not Arnold has vetoed hundreds of Dem bills and almost all of Mark Leno Marxist bills.
