The GOP primary in CA: a playground for the wealthy?
With two wealthy Silicon Valley GOP candidates for CA governor — Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner — spending more than $100 million just to win the right to spend tens of millions more in the fall the California primary is getting out of hand. An (even for Republicans) unusual amount of negative political ads accusing candidates of doing everything short of sleeping with a rent boy.
The main theme of Whitman ads is that Poizner is not to be trusted because his political track record reveals that he's a secret liberal.
Meanwhile Poizner is hitting back: His main theme is that Whitman is — you guessed it — a secret liberal...
Maybe we better make this GOP primary an EBAY auction...
