Meg Whitman was and is a dud.....politically, at least. I voted for her bcause she was not Brown, but for no other reason. Would she have been a good governor? I have no idea. I can tell you, however, she is a terrible politician. She has no charisma. She projected nothing.
Brown had a TV spot the last few days. It was just him. Full face on camera. He was energized, engaged, friendly, in fact, likeable. I knew it was over when I saw that.
Sometimes its not about the ideas. Its about connection. Meg could not connect to the voters, not even to the conservatives. Just a bad choice of candidates.
I understand. But since there was such a groundswell based on voters who were angry about “business as usual”, they couldn’t have reconsidered their very dopey vote for a true, knuckleheaded loser? Moonbeam is going to finish the job of destroying that state and the rest of us are going to be forced to pay for their stupidity.
One thing I’m pretty sure of- the uber-wealthy celebrities out there certainly aren’t going to bail them out.
