Brown leads Whitman by 7 points; Boxer holds slender lead over Fiorina


WASHINGTON — The Democrats hold a narrow advantage in California where big-spending Republican Meg Whitman is struggling, as Democrats show increased enthusiasm about voting on Nov. 2, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Tuesday.

The poll found that enthusiasm about the election among Democrats has improved, with 75 percent of Democrats saying they are certain to vote compared to 60 percent in June.

Democrat Jerry Brown leads Whitman in the race to succeed Arnold Schwarzenegger as California governor, 50 percent to 43 percent. Whitman is a billionaire and former eBay CEO who has spent at least $119 million of her own money on her campaign.

1. We are going to legalize pot!

[Merlot]

2. Yes we are!

And we're going to have an increase in tourism that will make our budget woes much better. And we're not going to send recreational users to prison. We're going to free up the court systems and let the cops spend time and money on REAL crimes.

And all that will take a bite out of the prison, alcohol, and pharma industries profits. So I expect this to go to court, but in the end, WE ARE GOING TO LEGALIZE POT!

3. I am going to the polls over our LOCAL

I might as well vote for certain folks and against the craze while at it!

:-)

Funny I got a call from both campaigns yesterday (to the board) and the dem was damn surprised I knew about him.

I ain't voting for our career republican...
