Have we ever had two candidates for governor as different as Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown? It's hard to imagine -- which is why the choice is so obvious: Jerry Brown is not only the better candidate, he is the right person to restore reason in these times of anger, divisiveness and political posturing run amok.

Last week Brown was ahead in polls -- but the only poll that counts is the vote Tuesday. Your vote could be decisive in this and other races. This is no time to leave matters to others.Read more

With less than 48 hours to go before California voters head to the polls in an election season that seemed to last forever, the contrasting moods and styles of gubernatorial candidates Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman were on full display Sunday.

Brown, the former two-time Democratic governor buoyed by polls that show him up by double digits, was relaxed, self-deprecating and playful as he hit three Northern California rallies from Eureka to Sacramento, before heading to Riverside.Read more

Democrat Jerry Brown and Republican Meg Whitman campaigned across California on Saturday, sparring over taxes and which one of them was best suited to lead the fiscally troubled state.

"After all this campaigning and all the ads and all that, that you're here at this hour of the morning, thank you very much," [Brown] told a group in Oakland. "I mean it's a renewal of faith and enthusiasm, and that's what we need going forward."Read more

For a Republican to win statewide in bright blue California, just about everything has to go right.

INSIGHT: LAT/USC Poll: Climate Change Bites eMeg’s Backside

Long ago, Calbuzz suggested that Meg Whitman made a strategic blunder during the Republican primary when, in an effort to look conservative enough to beat Steve Poizner, she came out swinging against AB 32, California’s pioneering greenhouse-gas reduction law. Our point was simple: she had alienated independent and moderate voters who tilt the balance of power in California because, for them, protecting the environment is an important cause.Read more

For weeks, Meg Whitman, California's Republican gubernatorial candidate, has said that if elected she would suspend the state's 2006 global warming law for a year. But in Tuesday's debate with Democratic candidate Jerry Brown, at Dominican University in San Rafael, she also said something else: She wants not only to delay the law, known as AB 32, but to "fix" it. She told the audience that only 3% of California jobs are "green jobs" and that the law "is going to do real damage to the rest of the jobs in the economy." Read more

For a moment Wednesday, it seemed like a venerable piece of Los Angeles had dropped into Iowa, where in campaign years the act of getting a sandwich brings the threat of conversation with a political candidate.

Meg Whitman, the Republican candidate for governor, stormed Philippe’s French dip shop near downtown just before the midday rush, shaking hands, talking to voters and performing the difficult task of biting into a beef double dip while discussing one’s jobs plan...Read more

SAN RAFAEL, California (Reuters) - A debate between California gubernatorial candidates turned heated and personal on Tuesday as Republican Internet billionaire Meg Whitman and veteran Democratic politician Jerry Brown belittled each other's proposals and abilities.

Brown has a small lead in opinion polls ahead of the November 2 election in the race to run the troubled U.S. state, but the debate showed the former eBay Inc CEO's competitive streak.Read more

The two major candidates for California governor head into their final televised showdown tonight with a "woman" problem dogging their campaigns - Republican Meg Whitman for her treatment of her undocumented maid, and Democrat Jerry Brown for a staffer's use of a sexist slur in referring to his opponent.Read more
