There's a 50/50 chance I'll go to the polls, get a ballot, and leave EVERYTHING blank.
The candidates are worthless, and the propositions have been taken over by the special interests.
Not much to chose from between those two. That being said I voted for Meg as the best chance to beat SEIU Brown. In the Senate race I voted for Chuck Devore. Absentee Ballot here.
I think Whitman is a Democrat who is running on an open Republican ticket (because Brown has the Democrat spot locked up). I think Whitman is like Bloomberg in New York who ran as a Repubblican for expediency.
Poizner, on the other hand, ran for the California Assembly in 2004 as a liberal Republican. He's the only state candidate that I recall Schwarzenegger actually endorsing and stumping for. Schwarzeneegger didn't even endorse McClintock, who was running for Lt. Governor.
Poizner is now running to the right, as a conservative. I don't know if this is a true change of heart or also political expediency.

Do you think that Devore has a chance against Boxer? Or did you vote your conscience believing that Boxer is a shoe-in regardless of her opponent?
agree.
Poizner is the part of the same on going problems.
Also Poizner supported Al Gore, that is enough right there
to count him out.
They both suck.
I voted Poizner because McClintock, clearly knowing both candidates’ flaws, picked Poizner — and very vocally.
Although the Jarvis group’s endorsement of WHitman carries some weight, let’s not forget their last gubernatorial endorsement: Schwarzenegger.
Romney endorsed Whitman.
Tom McClintoc(sp) endorsed Poizner.
That might help you.
That says it all EEE.
A herd of RINOs vying for position against the moonbat. We are so screwed.
“The only downsides to Poizner is that he really isn’t all that conservative, but neither is Meg. Also, he didn’t always prostrate himself in front of Jarvis and Prop 13.
Prop 13 might have started out as a good idea, but the Democrats have so twisted the tax code at the state and local levels that Prop 13 is now doing almost the exact opposite of what was intended: it is not lowering the overall tax burden of Californians, and it is just making the tax code more complex and favorable to special interests.”
Prop. 13 does what it was intended to do. No more and no less.
Prop. 13 requires a 2/3 vote in the legislature, to raise taxes.
That fact alone has preented tax increases in recent years.
And Poizner is not strongly opposed to getting rid of that.
Your remarks reveal you don’t know much about history.
Jarvis KNEW governments will spend all the money they cn get, so you must try to restrict the amount they can get. Plain and simple.
” I think Whitman is like Bloomberg in New York who ran as a Repubblican for expediency.”
Well said.
“Do you think that Devore has a chance against Boxer?”
I think Chuck is the best qualified candidate for the Senate in the race. That is why he has my support including donations and a lawn sign in my yard. I will support whoever is the Republican nominee but I will choke hard if it turns out to be Campbell.
I will also but I’m never going to listen to pragmatic bull again!
This election is just ripping my heart out!
Explain to me how a person who fundamentally ignores her responsibility as a citizen all her life is cut out for as powerful a position as governor?
She apologizes, so we elect her? That’s a ridiculous reason to pick a candidate.
Make her take a civics class, not ‘government’ as the liberals have twisted it.
Let’s see her be an upstanding citizen and learn the process, not just come in with $150 million in campaign money and take over like Arnold the Austrian socialist did.
Have you looked at her financial disclosure? Being ‘partners’ with so many companies, and then having the governorship sounds like the standard recipe for corporatist fascism that both the democrats and republicans have been cultivating for the last 30 years.
California can NEVER recover with that kind of person in office, because you can bet her many many ‘psrtnerships’ will be advantaged by her powerful political office.
Meg Whitman is A BAD candidate!
Dittos on both mutually suck
McClintock is right about Meg....she is GAS version 2.0. All the things she has said GAS has already tried and she won't have any of the political capitol he had and wasted. People will be so freaking tired of Meg by the time she spends $125 million they will vote against her just so they don't have to see her ugly mug on TV anymore.
I held my nose and voted for Poizner, but I believe it doesn't matter. We are getting Jerry Brown. The only way this bus ride is coming to an end is in a fiery crash. California is just another Greek myth.
Another reason I didn't vote for Meg is she did not vote for 28 freaking years. She said she was too busy with her job and her husband's job and raising kids or what the freak ever reason she had. WTF does she think the rest of us do and we all manage to vote. And you know she has more household staff than a hotel.
Ugh, neither one. I cannot wait until those ridiculous commercials stop.
