California Election Results 2010

California election results 2010 are rolling in, and there are some disappointing results. The California election results 2010 turned down prop 19 (click here) and in addition also brought Meg Whitman a defeat as well as a defeat of Carly Fiorina by Barbara Boxer (click here.)

So will California get any better than it is now? With 12.4% unemployment it's not going to be easy to turn the state around. However, Jerry Brown held the post as California governor many years ago.

Barbara Boxer kept her seat in the Senate, and so did Nancy Pelosi. However, it's not certain if Pelosi will serve out the term or if she will bow out after she will no longer be the Speaker of the House.

Prop 23 failed, and that would have all but repealed the controversial AB 32 which was passed a few years ago.

What do you think about the California election results 2010?

California Governor Election 2010: Meg Whitman Loses To Jerry Brown?

California Governor Election 2010: Meg Whitman Loses To Jerry Brown? California's governor race has been a tight one. Meg Whitman, a self made billionaire and former eBay CEO pumped MILLIONS of her own money into her campaign.

Whitman took the same approach as Bloomberg, but at the same time Bloomberg was successful in becoming mayor of NYC, whereas Whitman may not have been quite so successful at becoming the governor.

We've followed Whitman through the race, and for the most part it's been not so positive for her image. We learned of Nicky, her illegal immigrant housekeeper. Whitman also recently refused to take down Jerry Brown attack ads.

Still yet, I hope Whitman, if she is declared the true loser in the California Governor Election 2010 race she's not discouraged. Perhaps she will see a future helping out California when the time is right.

Washington Senate Race 2010: Murray vs Rossi Results & Polls Close

Washington Senate Race 2010: Patty Murray vs Dino Rossi is one of the nation's tightest polls. Washington State is also the most difficult state to determine the outcome of the race, as the ballots are mail-in only. That means that Washington voters must have their ballots in by tomorrow or risk not being counted.

Patty Murray, the Democratic incumbent could win the race. She's favored in last minute polls, although the margin of error and undecided voters could flip in favor of Dino Rossi. Every seat is crucial to the democrats and the GOP, as a 50/50 senate would bring in Joe Biden for the deciding vote.

Murray has painted Rossi as "too conservative" on issues including abortion, and Rossi has painted Murray as "fiscally irresponsible" especially considering that Murray has spent $15 million on the campaign as opposed to Rossi's $2.5 million.

Carly Fiorina & Meg Whitman Tequila Shots To Gain Hispanic Californian Votes? [VIDEO]

Carly Fiorina & Meg Whitman Tequila Shots To Gain Hispanic Californian Votes? Carly Fiorina and Meg Whitman are very unique Californian politicians. Both were CEO's of high profile tech firms, and both have been known as some of the best businesswomen of our modern day.

Both are members of the GOP and both want to change Washington and California. Fiorina is taking on a heated battle against long-time Californian incumbent Senator Barbara Boxer for the open Senate Seat and Meg Whitman is taking on Jerry Brown in the California Gubernatorial race.

Both Fiorina and Whitman attended the Hispanic 100 Lifetime Achievement Award ceremony, and did two tequila shots with the crowd before speaking. The organization feels strongly about Fiorina, but some fear she will vote for stringent immigration reform.

The Hispanic voting base has been swinging left ever since Meg Whitman's former maid came forward and claimed that Meg Whitman knew she was an undocumented worker.

The Fiorina Boxer race is one of the most important during the 2010 mid-term elections.

Meg Whitman Housekeeper and Maid Scandal Threatens California Governor's Race?

Meg Whitman's housekeeper and maid scandal could threaten the California Governor's race.  In California, there's a more progressive voter base.  Given that the maid that came forward and said that Meg Whitman hired her despite her being illegal is Latina, chances are the scandal will have a negative impact on the Hispanic voters base.


Whitman claims that she never knew that the maid was illegal until she announced her candidacy in the run for governor. 


Gloria Allred, the celebrity attorney, is representing the maid in question. They produced a letter at a press conference, which indicates that the Whitman's had at least some indication that Nicky, the maid, was possibly undocumented. 


The former maid is seeking compensation and mileage. Some are pointing to this is a possible political sabotage in the wake of the November 2 election. 


Despite throwing an unprecedented amount of her own fortune into the race, Whitman is tied with State Attorney General Jerry Brown.

Meg Whitman Housekeeper an Illegal Immigrant?

Meg Whitman's housekeeper an illegal immigrant? The former eBay CEO and Republican candidate in the California Gubernatorial race is now accused of having an illegal immigrant (undocumented worker). This is a crushing blow to the GOP candidate, although I don't know if it will cost her the race.

The strange thing behind this story is that the illegal immigrant has hired THE Gloria Allred. Yes, the same Gloria Allred who Rachel Uchitel turned to in the wake of the Tiger Woods scandal.

The allegations claim that Whitman was informed by the federal government 7 years ago that her housekeeper Nicky Diaz may be in the country illegally. Whitman denies those claims, saying that she never received such notification.

Allred claims that Whitman and her husband received a letter from the government stating that the Social Security number on file for her client didn't match what the Whitman's had on file. No, the lawyer didn't give a copy of the letter, as her client said she saw it.

This reaks of scandal. Surely Meg Whitman wouldn't lie about hiring an undocumented worker - or lie about receiving a letter from the federal government. That is something you really can't lie about. Nicky Diaz also claims she was mistreated and will be seeking back pay and mileage.

What are your thoughts on Meg Whitman's housekeeper?
