California Governor Race Candidates

Constance Said:

the Governor race here in california is interesting,We have Meg Whitman and career politician Jerry Brown?

We Answered:

Gloria Allred says Nicci and Jerry are the victims and that the house keeper accidentally stole the social security number and misrepresented her status.

As absurd as this thing is , it does seem to be doing what the Libs want it to.

Either way , I suspect Brown's campaign is paying Allred and Nicci well.

What I presume is that all this focus on a maid means that they don't have anything else to use against Whittman.

Ricardo Said:

When have we NOT had a governor running for president?

We Answered:

I'm not sure about the primaries, but working backwards starting before the ones you listed.

1972 was Nixon/McGovern. Nixon was President, McGovern a Senator.

1968 was Nixon/McCarthy. Nixon was a former Senator and VP (and I believe had unsuccessfully run for Governor of California), McCarthy was a Senator.

1964 was Johnson/Goldwater -- Johnson was President, Goldwater a Senator.

1960 was Kennedy/Nixon -- Kennedy was a Senator, and Nixon was a former Senator and VP. (He tried for Governor after losing that election.)

1956 and 1952 were both Eisenhower/Stevenson. Ike was President in 1956, and a retired General in 1952, Stevenson a Governor (of Illinois).

So, the 1960 - 1972 general elections had no governors in the races.

Gene Said:

Do you feel the Bradley Effect will factor into this year's Presidential Elections?

We Answered:

One of my neighbors, a self-proclaimed Obama supporter, voted for Clinton in the primary specifically because Obama's black and Clinton is not. She said that she never considered herself prejudiced before, but when it came down to it, she didn't vote for him because he's black.

This lady's irrationality notwithstanding, I'd hope that this phenomena is a non-issue in this election, but only time will tell. I'd imagine like in every walk of life, some people will say one thing and do another. Hopefully, though, not many.

Lester Said:

How much will the bradley effect play on the election?

We Answered:

Much more than Bradley himself. Bradley didn't go to a racist church or play the race card or make fun of middle America like Obama.
