No on Prop 23

Will this ad work? Prop 23 is about clean energy and rich Texas oil companies trying to keep pumping in their oil. When I watched this ad, I thought it was very good for three reasons. One, it got to the point. It told all the facts, and said why you should vote on Prop 23. Two, it went from serious to funny. Everyone likes a little humor and doesn't always want boring and serious. Three, it used people we look up to. We see that Arnold and James Cameron are backing this, so people will feel that they should also back it. If i could vote for this I think I would vote no. We obviously need new clean energy if we want to keep our earth for a really long time. We have to make changes in the way we treat our environment and this is just one step to get us on the right track.

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.
