Brown needles Meg Whitman, invokes the Giants, rejects 'message discipline'
Brown needles Meg Whitman, invokes the Giants, rejects 'message discipline' in campaign tour kickoff
http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/california-politics/2010/10/brown-refutes-meg-whitman-texas-rangers-and-discipline-in-campaign-stop.html

Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown kicked off a three-day statewide tour of California Saturday with a morning rally at his Oakland headquarters, telling more than 100 supporters that while the state faces tough times it also has the potential to bounce back.

"We have the resources. We got the people. We have the weather. We have the beauty. We have the ports, the mountains," Brown said. "We have it all -- and we have the Giants."

The crowd ate it up. Brown used the opportunity to needle his Republican rival, Meg Whitman, and score political points while talking baseball.

"My opponent has been talking a lot about Texas and how great Texas is," he said. "Well, I hope we can show her on the playing fields that California is No. 1 in every sense, along with the San Francisco Giants."

4. What's the Texas business about?
Is she from there? Or she wants to emulate Texas gov't?

If the latter.... good friggin' grief.

8. Don't they move to Myanmar for the same reason?
Did she specifically move jobs to TX as CEO of... whatever she was CEO of.

EBAY? ( Excuse my ignorance. We've got our own problems here on the other coast).

Good luck to Jerry B.

Good luck to the state if he doesn't win.

9. Yeah I think Myanmar is a good place for her
Would love to get her a one-way ticket OUT OF MY STATE!!

She showed up at a local bakery here yesterday and was practically snubbed out of the place. I know her handlers were thinking: Glendale (GOP leaning L.A. suburb) and Cuban bakery (they tend to be right leaning) that will be great but people were just oh, go home Meg. Nobody can stand her. Even my parents GOP neighbors are soooo sick of her ads.

5. GO JERRY!
He has a knack for saying the right thing.

The race is already in the bag for Jerry. Whitman's toast. Expensive toast, but toast.
