Jerry Brown has double digits over Meg Witless!!! I am happy now.
No news, no politics on the weekends, Sweetie's and me agreement on the weekends. Until 8PM Sunday night. I rad the news, and it says


Poll: Jerry Brown has double-digit lead over Meg Whitman



Democrat Jerry Brown has opened a double-digit lead over Republican Meg Whitman in the governor's race, according to a new Los Angeles Times/USC poll.

Brown was leading Whitman 52 percent to 39 percent among likely voters, expanding his lead particularly among women and Latino voters, according to the poll.

Brown, campaigning this morning at several churches in south Los Angeles, said after one stop that he is "cautiously optimistic" about his chances in November. He was campaigning with the Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom. Brown struck a populist tone, saying California is a wealthy state but that officials must "spread it out," not "suck it all up to the top."

He criticized Whitman for her scant voting record and called on congregants to cast ballots Nov. 2.

1. And Boxer remains 8 points ahead of Fiorina - unchanged in a month.
Fiorina is spending millions to basically tread water. She's made no dent in Boxer's lead. In fact, the LAT says Boxer would be pulling away if Fiorina wasn't spending millions.

6. How long do you think it will take for the Teapublicans to recall him after he gets elected?
I'm hoping he makes it a year or two.

What grounds could they possibly have?

9. But, to be fair...

10. As I said yesterday, imagine if she had done something good instead of trying to buy a political
office. That's a LOT of foreclosed mortgages, hungry kids, Maybe health care. But no, ego trumps all

And it's nice to see you posting too!

25. $141.6 million actually, but who's counting?
TPM asked in a headline earlier this month, "Is Meg Whitman Spending Her Way To Defeat?" My magic 8-Ball said, "Signs point to yes." :)

19. He's spent twenty-five million dollars
He started his campaign with a paltry 14 million dollars and has raised over ten million, but he has been spending it wisely. He knows how to budget money.

You know what I men, Vern?

16. I will be happier after the election, if this holds. I was worried about
it, but California Peggy promised this. And that it would hold. I hope so.

he was slightly ahead without appearing anywhere or spending a dime...

So now that he's visible and spending a few bucks...

Has been exposed. She can't even get her lies straight. Voted for Brown. I am hoping others do the same.
