Whitman Won't Get Rid of the Ads?

On Tuesday, October 26, Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman had a major meeting with an audience of mainly women. Governor Schwarzenegger was also at this meeting, giving his views on the commercials and where the candidates should focus their thoughts. A big topic at this discussion was about Meg Whitman's very harsh commercials that she paid for with money out of her pocket. Jerry Brown also has commercials about Whitman, but nothing compared to the extent of Meg. 

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman drew a chorus of boos from the capacity crowd at a major women's gathering here Tuesday after going on the attack against her Democratic opponent Jerry Brown and refusing to withdraw her negative television ads, as Brown said he would, for the rest of the campaign

I feel that this is a good debate because it is in our own great state of California. I personally think that Whitman should have said she would take down the commercials because I feel as if she crossed the line. Her commercials may all be true, but it gets annoying every commercial break when I see Whitman basically ripping Brown to shreds. Yes, all of her commercials may be facts, but you have to draw the line somewhere. Whitman got tons of boos from the crowd which I think she deserves. The election is very close and will come down to the wire, but if Whitman loses, her money has been wasted.
