Brown Leads Whitman Among Women as Crude Comments Fail to Bar Endorsement
By Alison Vekshin

Jerry Brown, the Democrat running for governor of California, is drawing more support from women than Republican Meg Whitman even as a recording of an aide calling her a “whore” hangs over their final scheduled debate.

Brown led Whitman among likely women voters 47 percent to 37 percent in the latest Rasmussen Reports poll Oct. 3, up from a virtual tie, 45 percent-44 percent, on Sept. 20. The results came after Whitman was accused of employing an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper, though before the Los Angeles Times published the “whore” recording Oct. 8.

Whitman, 54, the former EBay Inc. chief executive officer, has spent $119 million of her own fortune, a U.S. record by a self-funded candidate, as she battles Brown, 72, to run the state with the most people and the biggest economy in the nation. The two are to appear in a debate tonight moderated by former NBC News anchor Tom Brokaw.

“Brown supporters will stay with Brown, Whitman supporters will be somewhat outraged and continue supporting Whitman,” said Ann Crigler, a professor of politics at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles.

1. Whitman is not a whore

If she was she would starve to death.

2. She's a corporate whore, though.

3. Whitman is crying because someone called her a corporate whore?

Does that sound like someone who could handle the job of governor?
