Meg Whitman Goes on the Attack

After enduring days of excruciatingly bad press coverage, Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman finally held a press conference late last week and came out swinging. First, Whitman attacked GOP rival Steve Poizner as being a “liberal Republican,” according to the Mercury News. And then she went after presumptive Democratic Party nominee Jerry Brown, alleging that he has been illegally coordinating with a supposed “independent” political committee to run negative ads against her, the CoCo Times reports.
