In the previous debate- in addition to the illegal immigrant housekeeper’s 9 yrs of employment with Whitman, Brokaw asked another question to make Whitman uncomfortable – - if Whitman was so eager to improve California politics by winning this election, why didn’t she ever cast her own vote in previous California elections. Whitman looked stunned, and apologised- but I think it’s too little & too late. Furthermore, in Ebay they would ask employment candidates for their experience in their profession before being hired – but Whitman is throwing a lot of personal cash in the hope of becoming California’s top officer with no experience of holding elective office.

were you around when moonbeam was in office before? Our state got worse not better! I employ 25 people and am glad to give them benefits and retirement but Brown will make this difficult for me to do!

Meg Whitman is living proof that money can’t buy love. At a time when so many good people are out of work, losing their homes and having their families ripped apart by a ruthless economy, Whitman’s disgustingly shameful spending spree in pursuit of public office for which she has no experience or qualifications is absolutely absurd. Go away Meg Whitman, and please, stay away. The people of California find you contemptible and a despicable human being.

Like him or not, Jerry Brown did more for the working people of California than any other Governor before his tenure or after it.
He may have lost his hair, but you obviously lost your memory.

Why would some be so foolish to vote for this woman simply because she was successful at Ebay???

Makes no sense.

We need a Gov with experience, and you can’t buy California’s voters

I guess Meg was just inspired by Obama, who did not have the office experience, but he did have a proven track record for helping people out in his community, before the hype or thought of election.

I have not followed this race at all, but just a thought — isn’t California in a world of hurt right now? And wouldn’t it follow that some of the trouble started years ago, possibly when Brown was governor? And wouldn’t it make sense to vote for someone who has the business acumen that might possibly benefit California?

There is one of the biggest differences. A business man/woman knows how to cut spending. A politician does not. Look at California’s financial situation. Current level of spending is not sustainable.

Hahaha. Moonbeam or Ebay… What a sad, sad state we live in where we cannot even get a viable candidate worth voting for.

BTW – Whoever wins will not fix the mess we are in… I am in public finance for the state and can assure you that it will take MUCH more than a Governor to repair the impending debt that we begin to incur starting next fiscal year. Our debt service costs will be doubling, so as a friendly warning PLEASE tighten your belts and hope we don’t continue to pass on our inability to cut spending as debt for our kids to pay…

Moonbeam – hahahahaha! It will be quite entertaining with him back as Governor (actually a very funny and pleasant guy).

Technically the people did all the work. Jerry Brown opposed many of the propositions and ballot measures that the people of California passed – leading to a $4B tax cut (not creditable to Brown).

Make sure you pay as much attention to the propositions as the Governor’s race, they tend to be a far more powerful tool for us voters to alter the path we are on.

Brown’s expertise in politics absolutely SHINES in his ability to dig up and spark controversy surrounding Whitman’s character. Between the illegal alien houskeeper and whitman’s son (Princeton story), we see just how much of a political expert Brown is – impeccable timing and masterful smearing.

Her money doesn’t bug me… But her voice… Lord ‘ol mighty, listening to her speak is like nails on a chalkboard ;^)

Does anyone fall for the political smear on Meg? Do you really think that Meg hires her own cleaning people? Does Oprah?

Meg Whitman…. Are you serious? as a former ebayer, all she did was raise seller fees that put many ebayer’s out of business, including myself. Vote for someone who knows what Californian’s are suffering from.

Remember, eBay could have done better without Whitman. Billpoint, Skype, daily change of policies for the worst, and ever-increasing fees, etc… I have been with eBay for over a decade and I have seen enough how Whitman messed things up. I wish those former eBay employees could come out and tell the truth of what Whitman did.

I am running for govenor!! you dont know me and I dont know you Meg Whitmen is only thinking of herself. Jerry Brown did well then and will do better now.

You are right; California is in a world of hurt, but not because of Jerry Brown. Pete Wilson agreed to deregulate the power industry in CA, padded his own pockets and quietly walked out the door, taking our jobs and our economy with him.

Uh…don’t you mean that the voters have to choose between someone who has a lifetime of experience in California government vs. someone who cares so little about the state that she hasn’t voted in 28 years – someone whose campaign literature is full of lies – someone who thinks that all a billionaire needs to do to run the state is to ante up $156 million for ads? Oh, yes – and someone who the current Republican governor won’t endorse?

She is spending her money to get into office because she knows she can make a difference. She will make California great again
