To those of you crying because Meg Whitman didn't win...

Look how Meg solves problems. She throws money at them! Do you want her in office in California throwing our money at problems??!! Not me!!!!! I want a fiscal conservative in office and that's what we got with Jerry Brown.

I wanna know how he could run for office again after serving 2 terms and screwing up the state?

People are so stupid.

He didn't have a plan then, and he doesn't have a plan now.

It has nothing to do with that. It is the fact that the immature liberals are destructive in their demand for conformity. They are too spoiled to accept that someone may disagree with them. It was not uncommon in the liberal wacko town in CA that I lived in to have them vandalize vehicles and other property because they had a sticker or sign that did not conform to their fascist ideal. People do need to be careful expressing their conservative opinions in California, at the rate the state is going... they may just start incarcerating them for simply disagreeing, that... or worse.

That is ok though, more and more rational people leave CA and when they are all gone, you will have to deal with your creation. It will be your responsibility and make no mistake, those of us who have left will do everything we can to stop the federal government from giving you handouts. We will see that you fully deal with the errors in your decisions. Good luck California, you will most certainly need it to survive.

Meg and Carly wanted to run California like a business, unfortunately the reality is, you cannot outsource your POOR, ELDERLY, and DISABLED Californians to China and India (like they did) in order to make the state profitable.

YOU NAILED IT BROTHER!

Texas is just a gross place to live, and visit. At least California is a fun place to visit.

TX can't win because they have their rich, greedy, old white guys and the Catholic Hispanic/Latinos who vote Bible before bank account.

But she wasn't truthful. That was dumb too considering Brown was governor around the time she referred to in the ad. Facts are that Meggie didn't come to California until 1997 from Cincinnati where she was working for Proctor and Gamble.

That little fabrication shot her in the foot. Meg's campaign manager should have verified her whereabouts before going forward on such a silly ad. Makes me wonder if someone on the inside of her campaign was trying to sabatoge her.

Not all people are stupid. The majority of his supporters weren't even born the first time he was in office. Not a bad idea. Wait until you've got a new crop of voters and then give it another go. Maybe he learned from his mistakes. One can only hope.

Jerry Brown said something interesting about planning once: "The reason that everybody likes planning is that nobody has to do anything."

you are taking it a little too far, you are beginning to sound like a wacko, the race was close, so obviously alot of Republicans out in CA.
