Still in the lead.

Brown is still in the lead against Whitman.

And although this whole time, I have been downtalking politics as a whole, and both recognizing the bad and good sides of each candidate, I can't say that I am mad about the fact that Brown is still taking it.

Whitman, just by hearing or seeing her ads on TV or radio, just initially rubbed me the wrong way. She was constantly in attack, she was the first one to play the blame game for a bumpy california history, and I didn't like that. I didn't want to know what kind of dirt she could find on her opponent, rather I wanted to know what would make me want to vote for her.

I know Brown also aired attack advertisements, but even his had a more visual influence on the way I saw Brown. Just the fact that his ads seemed to ridicule Whitman more recklessly, but a lot less than Whitman... thumbs up! He didn't spend so much of his time trying to rain on Whitman's parade. He let his experience do the talking.

I can't say that I am totally knowledgeable of each candidate, but I would not mind if Brown took this race.
