Jerry Brown

[Ayatollahgondola]

I'm already regurgitating commercials, and I barely watch TV or listen to the radion anymore. With most of the candidates falling into my "shithead" category, it's not very good listening or watching. I am glad to have read that Whitman actualy stated that her former maid should be deported. That may actually sway me a bit, but we'll see what happens on or before election day. Otherwise it's a boycott for governor

Unfortunately, and especially in California, there's never a real clear choice. However, in this case, even though she may be considered the lesser of two evils by some, I consider Meg Whitman a hell of lot "less evil" than Jerry Brown and I still plan to vote for her.

As to Jerry Browns life and lifestyle http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerry_Brown there surely are some eyebrow raising comments in Wikipedia about his lifestyle, comrades and partners and marital status !!!!!!!!! Apparentrly Jerry is pals with Gavin Newsome also and Newsome has bigger political aspirations. Good heavens !!!!!

Do any of you West Coast fellows remember New Jerseys Governor Jim McGreevy ? A flaming homo, with male lover, who married a woman as a cover. He got exposed and his wife didn't know anything about his secret life. She sued for divorce. One never knows in politics what pig in a poke will emerge. Just look at Obama for example.

So far as our Carl Paladino is concerned we now have more and better information about his bio-data and background. And I feel a lot more confident now. He served in the regular military, rose to Captain, is actually a lawyer with his own law firm and was a very successful businessman.

Both he and Cuomo are of Italian ancestry so those two paisano's are slugging it out. Unfortunately Paladino is trailing Cuomo in the polls.

They might have Italian ancestry, but they are not "paisanos". Ship 'em to Italy and find out just how "Italian" real Italians will regard them.

A couple of observations.

Either that is one very stupid woman (public "flaming homo" for a husband in politics) or the man is bisexual with an extremely good cover act (not publicly "flaming", fooled the general public too).

Or she knew, acted surprised when word of the male lover got out, and filed for divorce in order to extract a fortune by way of the court.

If there is anything you can count on, it's California polls being unreliable. I see that Whitman somehow gained ten points on Brown overnight and they are now four points apart.

We might get a better idea of what the polls say if we got a chance to see the raw data. We don't. We get the results after they are weighted and adjusted according to several criteria including registered voters and demographics.

This election will turn on who shows up and votes. That's what's going to make a difference and nothing else.

Sounds right to me.
