Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman's scant voting record is viewed poorly by more than half of likely voters, but many aren't thrilled with Democratic rival Jerry Brown's age, either.
In a wide-ranging measure of the candidate characteristics that matter most to voters, a report released today by the nonpartisan Field Poll depicts an electorate that favors both political and business experience as well as progressive or moderate views.
Of likely voters surveyed, 54 percent said they are less inclined to vote for a candidate for high office who hasn't voted in many statewide elections, while 4 percent said they are more likely to. The difference – what Field calls the net negative effect – is 50 points.
Meanwhile, 37 percent of likely voters are less likely to vote for a candidate who is older than 70, according to the poll. Brown is 72.

California non-voters always make sure that those who do vote and pay taxes get screwed real good .. election after election..
I’ve only lived in two states my whole life , traveled a lot , but Minniesoda was the birthplace and here is where I roosted for over 30 years and my uncles and cousins lived their entire lives.. and now,, deep in debt, caught in a spending maelstrom, this is what it has come to. Tis a shame, a real shame.

Those drawings make all of the candidates look like zombies.
“If it’s brown, flush it down”. That’s gross Norm.
Gotta admit this; the old broad looks pretty good for 70.
