SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) ―

Republican gubernatorial hopeful Meg Whitman wrapped up a week of fundraising Friday with help from some big GOP names while facing protests about the amount of money she is spending on her quest for California's highest office.

Whitman's political mentor, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, joined her at a donors-only luncheon in Sacramento, where tickets started at $1,000 and went up to $25,900.

In the evening, Whitman ended her weeklong fundraising tour at a gala in Redwood City with Romney, former Republican presidential nominee John McCain, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and former Secretary of State George Shultz.

Both events attracted about 100 protesters organized by the California Nurses Association.

The union says the billionaire candidate, who already has given her campaign $59 million from her personal fortune, wants to buy her way into office and crown herself queen of California. Whitman, the former chief executive of eBay, has said she is willing to spend $150 million on her campaign.

If McClintock says Poizner's good, that works for me.

It's funny how Meg's campaign is now saying, "Poizner has decided to "stop telling the truth." Do they acknowledge then that he has been telling the truth?

Meg, you stick to marketing, don't you? I hope you never have to actually run something.

I have been seeing Whitman ads caling Poizner a Rino. Oh the irony. I have to think who do we vote for Rino 1(poizner) or Rino 2(whitman).

What great choices we have. /sarc

Well, you can only get what you can get in California. But that said, could you pick two bigger spending LOSERS than Romney and McCain for advice?

Look, if she beats Governor Moonbeam and restores some sense of accountability to California's train wreck, we should be thankful for what we get. It's a bad sign about that state's party leadership when they keep Palin at arm's length and invite the same old November Criminals who got us into this mess in the first place.

If Meg doesn't, well, then the state goes insolvent.

Personally, I wish McClintock had run. He'd have had the stones to invite Palin in for a series of rallies.

Best,

Chris

Oh, yeah, Meg. That's gettin' out there and pressing the flesh!

The Second Coming of Ronaldus Magnus......Right Here!

Two words: "Jesus wept."
