    CA-Gov Video: Jerry Brown’s Solution to Illegal Aliens – Slow Down Modernization in Mexico

    Former California governor Jerry Brown on the Ronn Owens radio show (KGO-San Francisco) on April 9, 1996.

    Granted it was in 1996 but Jerry Brown’s thought processes are the same today: Far Left “Moonbeam” nonsense, no matter how you spin it.

    Meg Whitman is not the most perfect candidate but compared to Brown……well, just wait, if this career idiot is elected.

    CA-Gov: Jerry Brown Vs. Meg Whitman and the Whore Comment

    What will be the fall out?

    California voters are getting fed up with all of the television ads and the personal BS of the Brown Vs. Whitman campaign. 

    Jerry Brown is trying to cultivate some likability and this certainly won’t help him by making Whitman a sympathetic figure, particularly after her illegal alien maid flap.

    Advantage Whitman, especially if she runs some ads.

    CA-Gov: Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca Endorses Jerry Brown

    More problems for Meg Whitman in her race to beat Jerry Brown.

    Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca weighed in on the governor’s race Wednesday, endorsing Democratic candidate Jerry Brown.

    Baca, a registered Republican, cited Brown’s record on public safety in an announcement released on Brown’s campaign website.

    “Jerry Brown has championed the rights of crime victims, toughened criminal penalties and developed innovative crime-fighting technologies,” Baca said in the statement. “Jerry Brown has always stood with me and my deputies and I am proud to stand with him in his campaign for governor.”

    Whitman needs to win a portion of Los Angeles County to be competitive with Jerry Brown and the endorsement by a REPUBLICAN law enforcement official does not help – at all.

    Older California voters remember Jerry Brown appointing far left judges who opposed the death penalty among other things but with Baca’s endorsement it sends the message that Brown is not soft on crime – which he is.

    Sheriff Baca endorsing Jerry Brown is a blow to Meg Whitman’s electoral chances and one has to wonder if there will be more GOP defections as Whitman sinks in the polls.

    CA-Gov: Meg Whitman and Nicky the Illegal Alien Maid

    Oh dirty politics in a close campaign is always a nasty affair. You know the story: the rich Meg Whitman running for California Governor is a hypocrite because she had an illegal alien working for her household while she has called for tougher laws against employers doing the exact same thing.

    Then, there are the details where Nicky, the maid lied and submitted false documents and Meg Whitman and her doctor husband when they discovered that Nicky was illegal fired her – treating her like dirt or at least unseemingly (so Nicky claims).

    Here is a video of California Republican Meg Whitman responding:

    The bottom line is whether this hurts Meg Whitman’s campaign for California governor?

    Probably, a little.

    But, if California voters cannot get past this obvious set up and dirty trick then they deserve the calamity which Jerry Brown and his merry band of union controlled Democrats will deliver.

    CA-Gov Poll Watch: Is Jerry Brown Really Ahead of Meg Whitman?

    California Attorney General and Democrat nominee for Governor Jerry Brown’s latest television ad. In this ad Brown attempts to reinvent himself again (LIES to voters) about increasing taxes and local control of government

    Well, if you believe the LA Times/USC poll Brown is ahead by five points (49%-44%) but there are some problems with the polling samples.

    There is strong evidence why the LA Times/USC Poll is out-of-step with the California Field Poll, despite the fact that they polled voters at the same time. The Field Poll conducted interviews from September 14-21 and the LAT/USC Poll was in the field September 15-22. The most significant difference is that the LAT/USC poll under-sampled Republicans. That’s why its results differ so sharply from Field and all the other recently reported public polls, as well as our own internal polls. Field provides a far truer representation of California’s 2010 electorate, in our estimation.

    My belief which is supported by the venerable California Field Poll and polling averages is that the election is very close. Look at the poll average graph below.

    Pollster Interactive CA-Gov Poll Average Graph (Meg Whitman 45.7% Vs Jerry Brown 44.8%)

    In my various social ventures (in person) outside the blogosphere nobody and I mean nobody is discussing Jerry Brown or Barbara Boxer – absolutely no idol conversation about the coming elections at all. There are no signs, bumper stickers or anything in the lefty parts of Los Angeles. I cannot foresee an enthusiastic turnout for the Democrats in November – at least not in heavily Democratic Los Angeles County.

    This is a very good sign for Meg Whitman and Carly Fiorina.

    Pollster’s interactive California Governor’s Poll with Meg Whitman 45.9% Vs. Jerry Brown 44.4% on average

    After all of the $million spent by Meg Whitman, the Republican and, Jerry Brown, the Democrat this race is tied – a dead heat. The venerable California Field Poll in pdf format is here.

    There are really no surprises in the cross-tabs.

    I think this race is going to come down to the enthusiasm factor rather than paid television media in the weeks before the race. In this, Meg Whitman should have the edge, since voters are angry and angry voters VOTE.

    CA-Gov: Bill Clinton Still Feels Sorry for Jerry Brown Endorses Him for Governor

    This video features an heated debate between Bill Clinton and Jerry Brown during the 1992 Democratic Primaries. Things get personal when Brown attacks Hillary

    Does anyone REALLY think that Bill Clinton will push this flap aside? I think Bill Clinton pathetically feels sorry for Governor Moonbeam.

    Not really but Bill knows that Obama is weak and Hillary might be able to make a come back – so he will play the game.

    Former President Bill Clinton endorsed Jerry Brown’s bid to become governor on Tuesday, saying he and Brown had put the ugliness from their 1992 primary battle behind them and that Republican Meg Whitman’s ad that featured him was misleading.

    “I strongly support Jerry Brown for governor because I believe he was a fine mayor of Oakland, he’s been a very good attorney general, and he would be an excellent governor at a time when California needs his creativity and fiscal prudence,” Clinton said in a statement to The Times.

    CA-Gov Video: Jerry Brown Portrays Meg Whitman as Pinocchio

    California Democrat Attorney General Jerry Brown’s latest television ad depicting Meg Whitman as Pinocchio

    Jerry Brown is hitting back at Republican Gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman after she ran television ads featuring Bill Clinton clips that call the former Governor Jerry Brown a liar on Proposition 13, raising taxes and running a California budget deficit.

    But, although some of Clinton’s assertions have been examined and clarified, not all of Whitman’s ad is false. Besides, I remember Jerry Brown, the Proposition 13 tax revolt and his blatant flip-flop. A classic Jerry Brown re-invention.

    So, Governor Moonbeam goes personally negative against Whitman highlighting issues where he has blatantly spun the truth or outright lied.

    Nice……and good luck with that Jerry.

    Here is Brown’s other television ad that also will begin on California television this evening.

    CA-Gov: Will Bill Clinton Campaign for Jerry Brown?

    John Burton, Chairman of the California Democratic Party

    Well, this video was made a few days ago before Jerry Brown insulted the former President by dredging up the Monica Lewinsky affiar in this video:

    My bet is that Bill will come out and campaign for San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom who is running for Lt. Governor (who endorsed Hillary when she was running for President) and stay away from his ego-challenged contemporary, Jerry Brown. But, then again, maybe Hillary feels threatened with the prospect of a Governor Meg Whitman.
