[NB: Isn't Halloween In Three Weeks?] Republican Meg Whitman has now spent $140 million on her bid to become governor of California, most of it from her own pocket. According to campaign disclosure documents filed Tuesday night, Whitman spent $39.7 million from the beginning of July to the end of September and raised $38.7 million — $28 million of which came from her own funds. Over the same period Democrat Jerry Brown spent $10 million and raised $9.4 million. Brown’s campaign actually has more money on hand heading into the final stretch of the campaign, banking $22.5 million to Whitman’s $9.1 million. But Whitman’s cash-on-hand number is essentially meaningless, as the billionaire former eBay CEO is almost entirely self-financing her campaign. Whitman has contributed $119 million from her personal fortune to her campaign so far and has pledged to spend upwards of $150 million to become governor. Despite her record-setting spending, Whitman actually trails Brown in the latest polls, including a Reuters/Ipsos survey. out Tuesday showing the Republican down 7 percentage points, 50 percent to 43 percent. Whitman has spent predominantly on radio and television advertising with an apparent strategy of barraging voters with her message. Smart Media Group has been paid $91 million by Whitman’s campaign so far to purchase radio and television ads. Meanwhile, her chief media consultant, Scott Howell & Company, has received $4.5 million from the Republican nominee.

Disappear. I've had enough of your b.s. subterfuge for one day.
Well, [war's] got to do something for attention, his multiple personalities aren't speaking to him any more, and his imaginary friends keep finding excuses not to come over. (Murron)
In Boofer's case, we can only hope.
True. Consider she thinks the Bush deficits exceed the Owe-bama deficits, even though anyone with a fifth grade education understands its three times as large.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
Chuckles...look who's "hot under the collar now"... Troll...
Yep, the older I get, the more I'm mystified.

Interestingly enough, I think that every time you complain about the Bush deficits, then defend Owe-bama tripling it.

Uber-turn-that-won't-flush-troll.

Clearly you don't understand the budget process and the difference between fiscal year and calendar year.
Wha...huh?
CBO released this a couple of weeks before Obama took office... Predictions were dead on... The deficit was projected out to be $1.2trl and did not account for any stim or new spending...
Drugs, alcohol and talking points from the idiot box keep these people from the truth. Not that any of them ever had any love of truth in the first place.

It's you. You are the ultimate troll that won't flush.

The topic here appears to be money and politics. You can start your own thread tho..
Thanks for the courtesy PING!!! [snicker]
What makes you think I was talking about you specifically? Why drag mininggold into it? Is that what you think that poster does? Extremely revealing if you ask me.

If you can satisfactorily demonstrate that you were referring to anyone else I will apologize. Why drag mininggold into it? You've chastised her several times for referring to you in a post without PINGING you. I believe that she will appreciate the ironyof you using a proximic description, i.e. "these people", without pinging "these people". Meanwhile...this thread does have a topic. Do you care to discuss it?
Stop diverting the topic into attacks.

Do you wnat to discuss the topic here or me? If it's the latter...start a new thread...but I don't grant interviews.
Stop diverting topic discussion with your superfluous posts.

I have asked you on several occasions if you care to discuss the topic.
Had Obama tripled Bush's final deficit, that would truly be abhorrent.
Gee, goofy, you don't understand basic math...
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
He did.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
I think its more talking points. You can tell who takes Olberman seriously.

The behavior of the GOP and their enablers has been truly bizarre...they came in and tore up the place and are now complaining about how the clean-up is going...
Bret has only one T in his name Mammy.
I can't tell you from war. Same old-woman gassing about trivialities and leave the substance of the charge alone. I take it as an admission of guilt.

Boring!
And I can't tell you from Jethro Tull. He leaves and you're Johnny on the Spot, like a good Israel Firster. Meg's an Israel Firster too, just watch her kiss Israel's ass if she gets elected. But first she'll go down to Mexico and kiss their ass. It'll be the first item on her agenda.
And he has yet to delete a comment "just because" he can.
Oh really? You're so full of it.
Feel free to check out my posts there... Not ONE has been deleted. Can't say the same for here... BTW, have you ever deleted one of Mad Dog's comments?
Bret has deleted lots and lots of stuff. It gets really bad when CAPPSMADNESS is moding for him.
He hasn't deleted any of mine. I detect a little whining in your words. How does it feel with the shoe on the other foot? BTW, have you ever deleted one of Mad Dog's comments?
No, whore, I have demanded you stay on topic.

the topic is Meg Whitman spending $140MM for a job for which she will not be paid. Your first contribution here was to bring Hillary in to it. So, again, do you have anything to add to the topic?
The two women have similiar hair styles. Maybe he wants to discuss this trait they share but is too shy. GOPers love discussing clothes and hair styles of their favorite candidates

When I used that kind of justification when I was a kid my mother would ask, "if he jumps off the bridge, are you going to follow"?
