The tables have turned and now it’s Jerry Brown who is at the center of attention, or rather on the chopping block, over a remark made by one of his campaign aides on Thursday, who called his opponent Meg Whitman, a “whore.” The remark conflicted with the image Brown portrayed just the day before, when he gave a motivational speech at a party to thunderous audience approval. According to The New York Times, the remark served as a reminder of the Brown's ability to be “…both poetic and profane in the same sentence…”

The Los Angeles Times reported on Whitman’s and Fiorina’s continuous effort to trap the Latino vote as they attended a gala of a prominent group of Latino business leaders in Newport Beach, CA. Whitman acknowledged her need of the Latino vote stating that she cannot win the election without their vote.

The San Jose Mercury News did not report on either story.
