Latino Voters Deserting Brown, But Governor’s Race Still Tied

Democratic gubernatorial candidate Jerry Brown is still in a dead heat with his GOP rival Meg Whitman, despite losing virtually all of his once-substantial lead among Latino voters, according to results released Thursday by the nonpartisan Field Poll.

The Field Poll shows Brown and Whitman both drawing 41 percent support from registered California voters, with 18 percent still undecided.

But Whitman’s onslaught of more than $100 million in television and radio advertising—which has saturated both the state’s English and Spanish-language media—has succeeded in cutting Brown’s lead among Latinos from 23 percentage points in January to just 3 points today.

The narrowing margin among Latinos should especially concern Brown, says Louis DeSipio, a political science professor at the University of California at Irvine, since Latino voters have solidly favored Democrats ever since then-Governor Pete Wilson, a Republican, pushed through the anti-immigrant ballot measure, Proposition 187, in 1994.

“Brown was there for the farm workers when he was governor 30 years ago,â€

Anyone can see Allred is all for Brown. But it could be other ‘associations’ hiring Allred. She admitted to Mark Levin that she was being paid by a 3rd party. On Levin’s show she refused to use the term ‘alien’..(she said ‘Nicky’ wasn’t from outer space!) and insisted on ‘undocumented worker’. Some lawyer...ALIEN is the legal term! She’s a hispanderer.

Of note is that Allred is ‘good friends’ with one Joe Ortiz.

[snip] Joe was instrumental in getting Pina membership in the group (which heretofore did not allow woman into the civic organization), with help from his good friend, activist attorney Gloria Allred.

Joe works (not sure if he still is, this article was a few years ago) for the Mexican Americal Legal Defense & Education Fund as its Director of Development and Special Events ....He’s successful in raising thousands of dollars for the Latino advocacy organization. Still desiring to practice public relations on a full time basis, he finally forms Joe Ortiz Associates in June 1988 and begins acquiring many clients who were aware of his public relations expertise and his vast networking skills in the media/government/community affairs arena. He continues his “Prime Time With Joe Ortizâ€

There are THREE LOSERS HERE..... CALEEEEEEEFORNIA, BROWN, and WHITMAN....
