Her new ad:
While the recent polls showing Brown with a big lead are bogus, the fact remains that Brown is ahead and Whitman has yet to convince California voters that she’s the better alternative. Can she do it? This ad lays out a clear choice – and it will now come down to Californians deciding whether they really think a re-tread, has-been former governor is the best answer to California’s impending bankruptcy, or that Whitman, a successful business woman, might have a better plan?
After all is said and done, Californians will get the government they deserve – if they choose Brown, California will go bankrupt as there will be no way to pass any sort of State bailout through Congress in 2011 and there is no chance Brown will make the deep spending cuts needed to save California. If they choose Whitman, they’ll get a lot of initial pain as she clears out the mess, but then prosperity will return. We’ll see what the Californians do.
