Meg Whitman Jerry Brown Debate Prop 8

Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown debate Prop 8. Prop 8 was passed by 52% of the people in the state of California. Meg Whitman thinks that the ruling deserves its day in court. Jerry Brown won't defend the proposition as the state AG.

California is a very progressive state, and it sort of surprises me that someone would alienate that voting base. Whitman believes marriage to be between a man and a woman, and is a supporter of the law which made gay marriage illegal in California.

In August, Judge Walker Vaughn struck down Prop 8 in a ruling. The law is still going through the appeals process- but for the time being California joins the ranks of states where gay marriage is allowed.

The Meg Whitman Jerry Brown debate on Prop 8 was interesting, and you can see their arguments in the video below.

Jerry Brown Meg Whitman Name Calling Scandal [AUDIO]

Jerry Brown Meg Whitman name calling scandal after the Housekeeper controversy is only the latest California governor race side circus. First, Nicky Diaz a Latina former housekeeper for the the Whitmans came forward and admitted that she was illegal and undocumented, but that the Whitman family knew it.

Meg Whitman has fought back, although Nicky has the hired gun Gloria Allred. Diaz's claims didn't help Whitman build a rapport with the Hispanic voter base, which is required for a win in California.

Now, the latest thing to surface from California is that an aide of Jerry Brown called Meg Whitman a derogatory word which starts with a "w".

The conversation, according to the LA Weekly (you can also hear the audio in the player below" went like this:

" ... I have been warned if I crack down on pensions ... they'll go to Whitman, and that's where they'll go because they know Whitman will give 'em ... a deal, but I won't," Brown said.

His associate then says, "What about saying she's a "w"?"

Brown doesn't appear to have used the word himself.
