Governor Candidates in Hot Water

Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown, credits: Auctionbytes Blog

With the election vastly approaching, Governor candidates Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown are competing for every available vote.  In today’s LA Times, it was reported that a tape recording of Jerry Brown and his colleagues, released by the LA Police Union have Brown and associates conversing about Meg Whitman and her pension reform plan.  In the conversation, one of Browns associates can be heard calling Whitman a “whore” in relation to the way she “cuts deals to gain endorsements”.  In today’s San Jose Mercury News, it was reported that the latest Whitman controversy between she and her ex housekeeper may affect the outcome of the election. Whitman tried to get the latino vote by airing commercials in Spanish and encouraging them that jobs are coming. This housekeeper controversy, "has reinforced the stereotype that Republicans and rich people care not for Latinos”.  Today’s NY times did not report on the election.
