Article today in the L.A. Times on these two candidates for the GOP ticket for Governor.

The mud is flying between these two front-runners, with Poizner accusing Whitman of profiting on the housing collapse via her chunk of holdings in Goldman Sachs. Whitman then accused Poizner of flip flopping on most issues, including the new AZ law on illegal immigrants.

Which of the two do you think will prevail in the primary on June 8, 2010?

Some links from googling:
- HuffPo has this piece on Whitman
- NY Times has a piece on their recent debate
- San Jose paper reports that GOP is losing ground (http://www.mercurynews.com/breaking-news/ci_14946011 - broken link)in California

Default Meg Whitman talks out of both sides of her face!

I just saw a Meg Whitman commercial saying that she's tough on illegals!

She is so far from tough on immigration - there's even a commercial with her saying she's for "immigration reform" which means... AMNESTY!

The closer we get to election day the lies start to pour over the television ads. Steve Poizner is narrowing down her lead and she changes her tune!

The Steve Poizner/Meg Whitman catfight will guarantee a Jerry Brown win.

Which will be the downfall of California, with someone who panders to the unions and is pro-illegal immigration!
