Two new polls show Brown ahead of Whitman in governor's race
San Jose Mercury News ^ | 10/4/10 | Ken McLaughlin

Two new polls Monday showed Democrat Jerry Brown leading Republican Meg Whitman in the race for governor, but the modest point spread indicates it will likely remain a tight contest to the finish.

The Rasmussen and SurveyUSA polls were the first taken since celebrity Los Angeles attorney Gloria Allred revealed last week that Whitman had employed an illegal immigrant housekeeper for nine years -- a story that has dominated the campaign ever since.

The polls were released on a day when KGO-AM in San Francisco announced that a radio debate between Whitman and Brown scheduled for today had been canceled. Exactly why remains a bit of a mystery.

The Rasmussen poll of 750 likely voters showed 49 percent favored Brown, while 44 percent favored Whitman. In a similar survey two weeks ago, Rasmussen found the two candidates in a statistical dead heat -- Brown at 47 percent, Whitman at 46 percent

Yes, Whitman is indeed something of a RINO or a tweener or somesuch.

That said, if she needed money, I'd send a little.

To: 20 years too late

“Having lived in California for 42 years I won’t be surprised to see Brown, Boxer and Global Warming win... Hope not, but just trying to be realistic.”

Well, the sad thing is, the primaries were loaded, the Gop wouldn’t even consider anyone else and we missed getting anyone who won’t push that policy. Both Fiorina and Whitman are BIG on the global warming, UN agenda.

The proof of that has been posted over and over, but let me know if you didn’t see it, but it’s TOO LATE now! The powers that be and a bunch of useful idiots have given us the same old stuff, be it an R or a D.

I almost feel like California deserves Brown.

How did I do that? I have voted in every election and voted for Republicans every time. It's not my fault they're jackasses too.

I'm not whining and why are you shouting? If volume made you more intelligent the left would be a whole lot smarter than the right.
