Attacks Get Personal in California Gubernatorial Debate

Can California just succede from the Union and save us the trouble.

Brown has a dismal fiscal record in Calif. That alone should cause voters to reject him.

The debate itself was disappointing, in that the green party candidate was not permitted to participate.

There goes any real democracy, that anyone thinks they have in this country. The concept is a pure lie.

Tom, I'm really dissapointed that more was not said re: Immigration. Are you slipping, afraid to ask, or NOT ALLOWED to ask, it's really a biggie, don't you think?????????

Brown is just exactly what we don't need as Gov. He was terrible when he was. To elect him would finish California requiring decades to correct it if at all possible.

Does anyone remember Rose Bird the loon? How about Gov. moon beam.

If you care at all about the state of California vote for Whitman our last chance to stop the madness in our state house.

Hey ABC, just how did you PROVE this "one of his aides".... spreading a few lies youself..... it sure sounded like Brown to me....

I would prefer to see Brown in charge.... Wouldnt it be great to see CA go bankrupt with him in charge...

typical Republican hypocrite, hate the illegals, love thier slaves! Thousands of americans hire illegal immigrants, may even get rich from the work these people do but when questioned, they are all against illegal immigration. We have an underclass in America that everyone wants to keep under the carpet. and now we demonized them. We hate them!!! Much more thatn the terrorist of 9/11!! Are we ingrates? is it the reason the world calls us "ugly, stupid americans"?

masi, most people don't hate illegal immigrants, most of us understand their predicament and would probably do the same if need be to feed our families, however, in the scheme of things, it is creating two under class peoples, those who are illegal and those who are legal and vulnerable to those jobs by which illegals employed such as construction, meatpacking, plumbing, painting, drywall, flooring and other once held jobs used by which teenagers needed to assist in supplementing their education to purchase books are spare them from further debt of student loans.

I love the people critizing whitmean for the illegal worker. Answer me this...Brown is the AG of CA..has he done anything on this case. The women came out pubically and admitted to being in CA illegally and falsfying documents. What will Brown do? My guess..nothing

I think this little so called "leak" about an undocumented worker was a plot born out of the Brown camp to distract voters. When I call Merry Maids to come clean my house I expect Merry Maids to have done a thorough background check of its workers. I don't expect to have to go the extra mile and make all these time consuming calls to make sure the person I hired through a cleaning service is a citizen. It was a stupid attempt by the sorry Jerry Brown to distract voters from the real issue. That California is in the toilet and one flush away from being a welfare state. I don’t mean in the way that California has been a welfare state handing out money like candy for decades. I mean we will need welfare from the feds to keep the state running.

Who in the world would vote for Brown, he has lived off the taxpayers for all his life? Is this really what CA wants? If so, you will have made your bed, now lay in it and don't expect taxpayers from other states to bail you out.

We are where we are because we have an unqualified Republican governor. We don't need another one. Meg is only out for herself. Ebay was a TOTAL MESS after she took charge. It became about making money for her, not about people being able to sell their stuff. Unless you have a billionaire buffer, you better vote for Jerry. He knows how to be frugal in lean times and has a head on his shoulders. Meg will gut this state and will walk away happily rich and untouched.

Nine years is a long time to discover the legal status of a slave.I'd say Whitman is just another opportunist. She hates illegals but hires them anyway to do her dirty work.

To California voters, no other issue should matter than how to keep businesses prospering in their state. Too many are leaving the state because it is over-regulated and overtaxing to businesses. Unemployment is high because businesses are leaving and/or closing. The schools are losing money because the state is losing its economic base.

One candidate understands the loops that businesses go through to operate in California. The other candidate has no comprehension of what it takes to make a business successful. I don't live in California, but if I did, I'd put party politics aside on this one and go with the candidate who might have some insight as to how to bring businesses back into California, because if that happens, the other issues - unemployment, school funding, etc., will work themselves out.

Vote this woman in and you send the message to the world that America can be bought by billionaires. It's just that simple. With her winning we begin to take a slide that we never saw coming.

so 120mil of her own money will surely BUY her the election, this is gettig really old fast...

Jerry Brown already gave over 6 million CA voters the finger when he refused to do his job and defend prop 8 in court. He doesn't deserve his current position, let alone to be governer.
However, sadly, in the end, this state is so screwed up that regardless of who we elect, it may not do much to fix things here in CA.

I keep seeing in posts where people refer to illegal immigrant workers as "slaves". This is an extremely poor comparison. I the illegal immigrant does not not receiving a paycheck or the work they are doing, then they can pack their bag and head back across the border!

at least California gets a debate!In Texas the incumbent Rick Perry (R) will not only NOT debate,he won't talk to reporter,nor can anyone that lives here ask a question of him,and he only will give a speech before a carefully vetted audience of ONLY Republican supporters,and his current gripe with Washington these days is no more fedral money to rebuild millionaires homes on the gulf,but all along stating "that we don't need Washington down here."

Enough with these super rich people trying to buy an election. And she spent away too much on negative adds. Clearly, she set the tone in this election. We hardly heard from Brown until September. Now she'e weeping about trashing her.

We in California are eying the rich for tax increases. No doubt, she will squash that if elected. NO ONE gets rich on their own. And we went to war and they got a tax break. Time for them to pay up. Class warfare? You bet. It's been going on for years and we're losing!
