Brown is charging the media $700 per day for travel. Whitman? Try two GRAND.

You gotta be kidding: Team Meg Whitman charging media a whopping $2,000 for one day of travel?



Brown is charging media $700 a day for transportation, meals and hotels on the final days of the campaign, according to campaign spokesman Sterling Clifford. The Brown campaign plans for two charter planes, one for the media, and one for the candidate, with the possibility of interviews and media availabilities on the final swing, reporters were told.

Whitman is charging the media a whopping $1,350 for one day, and an astronomical $2,050 for another -- hotels not included. And so far, no details of what itinerary is planned, with a week to go.

Whitman campaign spokeswoman Sarah Pompei, in an email to reporters, gave those figures out with the observation that "we have worked to keep the cost for travel during the day as low as possible."

Okkkkay. So how does the Whitman campaign explain the huge difference in price?
