Brown V. Whitman: Candidates Tied In New Poll

Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman are now tied with less than two weeks before election day, according to one poll released Tuesday. The poll, sponsored by the Republican Governors Association, shows each candidate with 46 percent of the vote.

Both Brown and Whitman launched new television ads Tuesday, letting the attacks fly at one another.

Whitman’s 15-second commercial depicts Brown as a puppet controlled by unions, who have donated $20 million to his campaign. Brown’s minute-long ad compares Whitman to current Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, showing her mimicking the governor’s words almost identically in some cases.

After Brown’s ad aired, Whitman’s campaign fired back by linking the attorney general to Schwarzenegger and their mutual support of a 2009 tax.

Schwarzenegger has not endorsed either candidate in the race.

Thirteen days before voters cast their ballots on Nov. 2, Whitman’s team continues its aggressive pursuit of independent voters, and Brown’s group continues to concentrate on the heavily Democratic areas of L.A. and the Bay Area.

Nutmeg will lose as will Carly the tremendous failure of HP, don’t come crying to me if the GOP, keeps finding weak candidates, its like Mccain with the half-term Governor Palin all over again, what a joke that was, I mean comedian, talk show guest, commentator, now her new BS on the (of all places) The learning Channel, jack of all trades, master of none.

June 14, 2010, The New York Times, Ebay paid out $200,000 because Nutmeg assaulted an employee, so it’s not the first time she has mistreated an employee.

“The Whitman campaign issued a statement signed by Ms. Whitman that described Ms. Young Mi Kim as a “respected colleague and valuable asset to the company. In any high-pressure working environment, tensions can surface,” the statement said. ” Not quite a denial, what a fool she is.

I must say one thing about Nutmeg is that she is a good parrot:

INCUMBENTS MUST GO

Dump--all--INCUMBENTS who have shown no improvement, against the illegal alien invasion of our country. We are risking the growth of our economy, restitution of American jobs, raising wages if we do not stop the unfettered free flow of hard-ship foreigners from around the world.

Vote for the Tea Party, as they will change America for our future. They do not believe in the ideology of the Liberal Extremists hiding under the apron strings of Democrats, nor will they play into the hands of Republican elites? No more tax and spend by the Liberals. Already GOP and Tea Party Candidates know they are only temporary until the prove themselves capable of doing THE PEOPLE'S bidding if elected? Lesser Government intrusion in our lives, fair taxes and the ability to reduce Federal State and local taxes. This will be a return to the US Constitution. Above all else No Amnesty for illegal aliens and removal through E-Verify. A Warning to citizens--Be observant, as illegal aliens will vote in this midterm election, as they have nothing to lose in using the unsecured "Absentee voting." Illegal Immigration will try and keep Senate Democrats Harry Reid, Barbara Boxer, Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Janet Napolitano, Jerry Brown and Gavin Newsom (allowed policy of San Francisco Sanctuary City to thrive). and their Juniors returning them to office Under the Liberal banner certain Governors, Mayors and elected officials are for open borders even want to share our Senior Citizens, disabled, Social security with illegal’s' (May 2006)

Get out to the TEA PARTY Rallies, THE PEOPLE'S RALLIES and change this country--once and for all. No more career politicians and return us to minimum government and the interpretation of the US Constitution. We must uncouple ourselves from corporate greed, from open border entities and the stain of special interest lobbyists. These politicians are--ALL--very generous with your money, whether its Sacramento or Washington. Don't believe everything you read, specifically from the left side of the road as the truth is mostly suppressed. The National press has been infiltrated by the zealot groups of nuts, whose main philosophy is to spread the wealth around; Even if it’s not theirs.

When does the US government get the right, to extort money from taxpayers to pay for illegal alien children education, health care and a huge number of undisclosed programs that cater to these people? But if Senator Reid, Barbara Boxer, Nancy Pelosi and all their Democrats followers get returned to the corruption of Washington. Vice President Joe Biden has a similar voting record on illegal immigration to Reid, Boxer, Pelosi, including funding for Sanctuary Cities and no limit to money for illegal aliens. Mark my word the first thing they will do, is to pass the next Amnesty. We might not care to much for the elites in the GOP, but with the involvement of the Tea Party, the majority leaders will not be able to carry on the wishes of their corporate masters as before.

With the hidden influences of the shadow government, led by George Soros they are rest assured to stick us with the 13 to 20 illegal immigrants shielded in Sanctuary Cities and States such as California. The Tide Foundation behind the Huffington Press, the editorial fringe heavily weighted down with Ultra Liberal George Soros cash. The painful result as analyzed by the Heritage foundation is we can add another 2.6 TRILLION dollars, to the US Government deficit of 13 TRILLION. In 2007, it was Senator Harry Reid and Sen.Barney Frank that forced through the legislation forcing banks to lend to high-risk borrowers (Low Income mortgagees) which has destroyed our housing market. U.S. Senate candidate Carly Fiorina will be a major blockade against the infusion of illegal immigration here and will not be passing a Path to Citizenship or AMNESTY.

This is a joke. Is this how you represent Annenberg and USC? The GOP says the race is tied? Who'd they poll -Whitman's sons? No idea why you call it 'neon tommy' -sounds like a Motley Crue tabloid. And it's shocking you'd run this, and that if you did you'd not qualify who RGA really is in the title (ie., what flashes on google news) or at least the text itself. embarrassing pro-Whitman silliness.
