Whitman, a Hypocrite?

Since the beginning of the campaign, GOP candidate Meg Whitman’s advertising on Spanish-language media outlets have increased approximately 50%, the Los Angeles Times reported.  Although, according to Whitman’s campaign aides, the controversy regarding the illegal employment of her housekeeper, Nicky Diaz, should not affect Whitman’s chances with Latino voters.  However, others seem to differ on such views. The Service Employees International Union, one of California’s largest unions, has launched a $5-million effort to promote the Democratic candidate, Jerry Brown.  “Whitman attacks undocumented workers to win votes, but an undocumented woman worked in her home for nine years,” a union-bought Spanish-language commercial said.  And with Whitman’s promises to be “tough as nails” on illegal immigration, things look a little fishy.  One final debate between Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown is scheduled to take place on Spanish-language television stations on Saturday.
