The Right Way to Make an Ad

I feel this is the right way to do a commercial. It shows what Brown has done for the state of California. All of Whitman's ads are always negative towards Brown and never really show what her herself has done. I also feel that this is a strong commercial because there is nothing screaming about negativity. Yes it shows that Whitman isn't from California, but that's not to bad. I feel like Whitman should go back to New York and a native to California should be running our state. Brown was born in San Francisco, and unlike the Long Island native Whitman, he has a more in touch relationship with the state and means much more to him. I'm not sure who will win, but if I were voting I think I would vote for Brown just because the way Whitman hasn't took such a professional approach.

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.

Campaigning Goes to Far?

The race for governor is a close won. Whitman, funding her own campaign, has had many commercials about Jerry Brown and his previous times in politics. This video shows how low Meg Whitman is willing to go to become governor of California.


Meg Whitman is funding her campaign, while Jerry brown is not. This means that Meg Whitman says okay to all of these. But is this going to far? There are commercials about Whitman, yes, but Brown isn't paying for them with the money out of his pocket. I think this shows a not so good outlook for Whitman because she is smashing him so hard. But I also feel like you have to do things to win. I guess I'm just split in between the two. This is a very close race, and it means a lot to our state. Who ever wins this debate will govern our state, so we must care. Both sides have very good arguments, but both have their down sides. Brown, ex-mayor of Oakland, wasn't the greatest mayor ever. Also, Whitman doesn't have any political experience, and she barely even votes on issues. Each side is sort of alarming when it comes to our governor. We are saying that our state is turning "red", so who knows will win, it's not over until the final ballot is in.

Big Debate for the Win!

Meg Whitman vs. Jerry Brown for governor of California. A very close race and these next few debates can either win or lose it for twhithese two. Not only will they be debating each other, Gov. Schwarzenegger will also be joining them. This is probably going to be a very interesting debate because each person has very different views on similar subjects. 

California first lady Maria Shriver has put together what probably will be the final face-to-face meeting between gubernatorial candidates Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown - an unscripted conversation between them and Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger about governing California.

 Debates at UC Davis and Fresno State shall be fun to watch because being a Californian, we should care who we want to govern our state. Both candidates have very strong back when it comes to people behind them. Jerry Brown who has more experience than Whitman, Whitman being from eBay. Whitman and Brown will be attending the women's conference, which is to known, "The Main Event." This conference will be held on October 24, will have many known figures attending. People like former first lady, Laura Bush, and even singer, Mary J. Blige. This debate should be watched very closely so we can choose the right person suited for our state.
