Back to homepageWhere are Meg's mailers?
John Seiler: Oct. 9, 2010 Yesterday I got a mailer from Jerry Brown. Today I got another mailer from him. Today I also got my absentee ballot. Nothing yet in the mail from Meg. As I’ve been saying, Meg’s campaign,

California needs a political 'Gong Show'
John Seiler: Oct. 4, 2010 Remember the old “Gong Show“? People would display some talent, such as singing or playing an instrument. Judges then would decide if the person had any competence. For the incompetent ones, a large gong was
Read MoreMeg's amateurish response
John Seiler: As I’ve been writing, despite spending more than $120 million (so far), Meg Whitman’s campaign is amateurish. The Nannygate scandal shows that. When the scandal broke, what she should have said was, “I’ve been saying all along that
Read MoreMeg "wins" dismal debate
John Seiler: My take is that this was a dismal debate. Neither candidate is qualified to be governor. A state this big should be embarrassed that it can’t produce better candidates. Meg stayed on message: Jobs, jobs, jobs. When Jerry

John Seiler: Christine O’Donnell, the feisty new Tea Party candidate who won the GOP primary for Senate in Delaware, should trade places with Meg Whitman, and run for governor here. Meg would be happier running Delaware, the center of a

Meg: Stop lying about Jerry and taxes
John Seiler: Meg Whitman continues running commercials based on disproved assertions about Jerry Brown and taxes. It’s especially grating that she is using a Bill Clinton quote attacking Jerry from the 1992 presidential campaign. First, Clinton is a notorious liar.
Read MoreAB32ifornia
Katy Grimes has up a great new article demystifying Prop. 23, which would reverse AB 32 (much as the numbers are reversed). My prediction is that Prop. 23 will fail, something like 52-48. Its failure then will crash the economy. The

John Seiler: Jerry is botching his campaign against Meg, so he needs some help. Here it is. Jerry should drop all messages but one, to Republicans, repeated over and over on TV and radio and the Internet: “Hey, Republicans. Be
