California's Governor's Race

As I was learning more about the governor's race, it actually change my views on Whitman and Brown a lot. I haven't really been paying attention to the campaign at all, and the only information that I was really getting was off their advertisements on television. I noticed that when they both advertise themselves on TV, they try to make themselves look better then they really are. Both Brown and Whitman say they will pull California out of the "hard time." I personally fell like this is a fib, because not ONE person can make such a dramatic change to the State.
I absolutely, first off did not know that Meg Whitman was 54 years old, and have two children. She is a republican. That shocked me a lot. Then as I was reading more, I noticed that Meg attended Princeton and Harvard; who would have thought. She is well known of her name through her former CEO Presidential. She even is the Vice President of The Walt Disney Company. How random is that? Whitman supports the rights to bear arms, favors Prop 4 and also supports Prop 8. That was very unusual because not many people support Prop 8. I feel that if Meg eliminates pension, lays off 40,000 workers, and propose to contracting out work; the would will be in a downfall. She already spend $118 on herself and her campaign alone, maybe she is trying to hard?
On the other hand there is Jerry Brown. Jerry is a democrat and lives in Oakland, Ca. He also went to school nearby me, in Berkley, and also Yale. He received a bachelors degree in classics at Berkley, and a law degree at Yale. Apparently when Jerry ran for Governor in the 1900's, he failed the state miserably. I believe if he gets elected, the same thing will happen the last time he tried. Everyone lost jobs and the money became a big issue. Brown on the other hand supports full time workers pensions, health care reforms, and wants to create more jobs. He doesn't believe in the death penalty, and the legalization of pot. Where as Brown, he wants to try to help the state by cutting taxes by $4 billion, but I highly doubt he will be about to do.
Either way, on November 2, 2010, someone will become Governor of the state of California. Both electives have opposite opinions, and one way may work and another may not. The state will go in even deeper depression, and we might spring out of it. Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown both have great idea's in my opinion, and I am looking forwards in seeing what will happen in a couple months.
