Governors, 2010 California Governor's Race | featured news

The rivals for California governor continue their attacks on each other and stick to their talking points without offering details on how they would fix the troubled state.Reporting from San Rafael, Calif.

Gubernatorial candidates Jerry Brown, Democrat, and Meg Whitman, Republican, will meet in their third and final debate at 6:30 pm Tuesday at Dominican University of California in San Rafael.

Jerry Brown has a woman problem - he doesn t seem to grasp what it means to be running against one. The California governor's race generated yet another controversy Friday after the Los Angeles Times reported a private conversation, inadvertently captured on voice mail, in which the Democratic candidate and his aides discussed the possibility of portraying his billionaire GOP opponent, Meg Whitman, as a "whore."

The Democrats hold a narrow advantage in California where big-spending Republican Meg Whitman is struggling, as Democrats show increased enthusiasm about voting on November 2, a Reuters/Ipsos poll found on Tuesday.

As a new poll showed Democrat Jerry Brown with a five-point lead over Republican Meg Whitman in the race for governor, KGO radio's Ronn Owen announced that a debate between the two candidates Meg Whitman has been canceled.

Sparks fly at a Spanish-language debate between the candidates for California governor. Whitman says Brown was behind ex-housekeeper's emergence.

With polls showing a tight race and a large block of undecided voters still in play, the state’s economy and its deep financial problems dominated the debate between Jerry Brown and Meg Whitman.

The GOP gubernatorial candidate promises to cut spending and suggests that lower taxes and less regulation will spur business. But experts say the bleak economy is mostly due to the real estate crisis.

Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman gave her campaign another $15 million Tuesday.

A new CNN/Time/Opinion Research survey in California finds Meg Whitman (R) leading Jerry Brown (D) among registered voters in the race for governor, 48% to 46%.

Said pollster Keating Holland: "The gender gap means that women usually vote Democratic, but female voters are evenly divided between Brown and Whitman. That may be due to some women choosing a female candidate over a male, depriving Brown of the traditional level of support from that key group."
