Meg Whitman Concedes That No One Likes Her
Twitchell
California gubernatorial candidate and average mom Meg Whitman has spent $140+
million of her own money to... still be trailing Jerry Brown a week before
election day. And here, in her last commercial, she concedes that no one likes
her.
Whitman, who was neck-and-neck with Brown until about a month ago, is now
desperate. The most recent Los Angeles Times poll shows her trailing Brown by 13
percentage points. That is not a good number of points by which to be trailing.
So here's Whitman's last pitch, in which she levels with voters: "I know many of
you see this election as an unhappy choice betwen a longtime politician with no
plan for the future and a billionaire with no government experience."
Then she explains that you should vote for the inexperienced billionaire anyway.
On the good side, we get to see cute childhood photos of her little darlings!
When will she just straight-up pay for votes? Barrels of cash, parachuting from
the sky, while she sobs in her helicopter. This is destined to be Meg Whitman's
final act.

What she says must be true if she actually does lose the election. I don't
know if she is a good choice if she spent that much money for a thankless
job. If the electorate in California do choose Jerry Brown, they deserve
him. California will probably disintegrate even more.

Warren Buffett told Arnold that was the major problem,
and Arnold wouldn't listen. After all, that was "raising
taxes".
But it has to go.

That's what you get, when a state is "run by the people" (ie,
propositions) regardless of the ability to pay for them.
Buffett was shocked to pay more taxes on his home in
Omaha, than his in LA -- and he bought it long after 1978.

It isn't even really "the people", it is whatever special interest group or
groups that worke the hardest to get votes out to either pass the
proposition or kill it.
