Governor Election

The gubernatorial election has been going on for a long time. You might think finding a president is tough, but also finding a governor who is perfect fit can be tougher. I was forced to find out what the election was about when it started in january And I’m glad I looked in to it because I’m on track with the latest updates from San Francisco Chronicle, on the election. The race starts with finding who will represent each party. There is an election to find the right fit for the republicans and the democratic. That process takes awhile since there are many candidates who run.

I noticed that the media was focusing more on the election for the republicans. And if you haven’t noticed, the representative for the republicans is a female, Meg Whitman. Television was bombarded with commercial ads about her and against her. Her opponent Steve Poizner was definitely making a name for himself throughout the media. His committee took advantage of all the opportunities they had to expose Meg Whitman as a bad choice for governor.

Fast forwarding the timeline, Sfgate has a section for politics in which it is not only news articles but a blog that is updated constantly regarding the election. I follow the updates religiously especially I’m intrigued by the way the news is written in these blogs. Currently Jerry Brown is the representative for the democratics, and the woman herself, Meg Whitman is representing the republicans side.

Both candidates are head to head with debates on what they will do for the state of California. In order to win over the people of California, Brown and Whitman spend time promoting their proposals. For example, one of the latest debates is in regard to the California Budget. Brown has an idea, that when elected he would end california’s budget gridlock. This idea is what he endorses through Prop 25. On the other hand, Whitman proposes that when she is elected she will eliminate “40,000 unspecified state jobs and create a two year cap on eligibility for welfare,” and all this according to SFGate.com.

The two candidates are still on a role to prove that he or she is the best fit to be governor. But after all the debates, promotional commercials and campaign, the results come from voters, and after the election is over we will soon find out, “who will be our next governor.”
