Whitman, who has spent an unprecedented $142 million of her fortune on her campaign, was asked in San Jose about the role of her spending on the campaign.

She shot down criticism that she was attempting to "buy the election," saying that her personal spending helped her counteract the strong role of unions and other groups that have supported Brown.

"The money that I am spending on the race is money that I have earned," Whitman said. "You can't buy elections in California."

Whitman sat down at several tables in the restaurant and asked supporters how to improve her outreach to the Vietnamese community.

"You are a very important group that could actually swing the outcome of this election," Whitman said.
