Meg Whitman predicts Nov. 2 victory during visit to Visalia

Meg Whitman predicted Friday in Visalia that a surge of younger, largely unpolled smart-phone-armed voters will help push her over the top Tuesday in her bid to become California's next governor.

"We have the momentum now," Whitman said, referring to one poll Friday that showed her pulling even to her opponent, Jerry Brown, after a series of earlier polls showed the former California governor as much as 10 points ahead.

Justine Blowman, 11, a student at Central Valley Christian, characterized Whitman as "sweet" and just the kind of governor California needs.

"It says so on her (campaign) bus," Justine said. "Jobs for Californians. She will help the economy (as governor)."

3. After losing the Latino vote she is now focusing on the eleven-year-old voter block?

4. "It says so on her bus"
I think Meg should squeeze out another couple of million in the eleventh hour for ONE MORE AD, because THAT slogan is just too good to waste.

:rofl:

5. I know not a single young voter that likes her
perhaps she thinks the smart phone generation is 92?

7. But Ms. Whitman, when our accountants add up the
numbers it looks like you spent quite a lot more money than votes earned.

I'm sorry, but we can't extend credit at this time.

Thanks for applying.
