After all Meg Whitman’s moneybagging and all those demon sheep thrown by Carly Fiorina, polls right now are showing that it is unlikely either of them is going to emerge victorious in tomorrow’s elections in California.
While the pair might pull it out, given how the GOP is surging this election cycle, most expect them not to do so.
Whitman has handed over a giant pile of her eBay-generated fortune in an attempt to be the Republican governor of the Golden State, which seemed to have been working–until it didn’t.
In fact, it seems as if her wealth–and various controversies around it, such as IllegalMaidGate–has diminished her efforts to paint herself as CEO of California.
While she was way up over the summer over Democratic rival Jerry Brown, she has been trailing him recently.
And, although the race has tightened up, surveys show Brown is still ahead, such as a Rasmussen Reports survey that showed him up 49 percent to Whitman’s 45 percent.
In the Senate contest, former Hewlett-Packard CEO Fiorina seems to be more certainly headed for defeat.
A new Field Research poll gives Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer 49 percent to Fiorina’s 41.
And while both candidates drastically oversold their business credentials as just the thing the troubled state needs, it seems the magic of tech in California does not necessarily transfer to voter enthusiasm quite so neatly.
But, let’s not end this election without another look at the infamous–and accidentally hysterical–”Demon Sheep” television ad by Fiorina against her GOP-nomination opponent Tom Campbell.
That video is followed by a very funny rejoinder, “Demon Sheep II: The Fleecing of California.”
