California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman has a word she’d like you to associate with her GOP primary opponent: liberal.
In a new Whitman ad aimed at state Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, a narrator ominously asks, “How liberal is Steve Poizner?” before rattling off a long list — He supported Al Gore! He supported higher sales taxes! — before the narrator declares:
“Liberal on taxes. Liberal on spending. Just another liberal Sacramento politician.”
As we reported earlier, a new poll shows Whitman’s lead over Poizner in California’s June 8 Republican gubernatorial primary at a very thin 39% to 37%.
The TPM Poll Average in the race shows a much wider margin, with Whitman leading Poizner 44.0% to 26.6%.
