I've never seen such blatant partisan bickering and childish name-calling and finger-pointing than I have in Meg Whitman's campaign, whose commercials now seem to be running every 3 1/2 seconds. Really it's nauseating and I cant wait for this campaign to be over. :puke:

2. It's been nothing but negativity from her, even in the primary
Election Day can't come quick enough.

4. I'm surprised I still have a working TV.
The primary ads ALONE were fueling my rage because they were so fucking negative and anti-liberal. Seriously I agree that Tuesday cant come soon enough.

3. She ruined Ebay
Hopefully, she won't get the chance to do the same for California.

5. the ad she has now with some old clip of brown from inside edition or some other
tabloid show is pretty disgusting.

she is just a nasty person. it's probably one of the first times the negative campaiging is hurting the person who is running it rather than the one it's intended to hurt.

it might have been effective with others but Brown is well known in California so people just don't believe those things about him.

her best way of winning would actually have been if she said Brown was a good guy but she has the better ideas to improve the state and focused on the issues and more on what she herself would do.

but of course the only things she has to offer are the failures of past republicans. so she had to attackhim personally hoping it would help her win.

6. That's definitely the worst one so far.
Actually my favorite campaign ad is the one where they showed a clip of Fiorina footage from Fux Noise. That one cracks me up.

7. Maybe most disgusting for decades, but American history
is full of really amazing campaigns back in the 19th century which would turn modern hair white overnight.
