This Exists: Campaign Ad Suggests Meg Whitman Peddled Pornography

Steve Poizner is a Republican candidate for California’s gubernatorial race and is facing a rather tough opponent in the primary election: Meg Whitman, former CEO of the wildly successful online auctioning site eBay. But what some may see as a strength, Poizner’s campaign seeks to exploit as a weakness, by highlighting eBay’s growth as a pornography marketplace while under Whitman’s leadership. (Gasp!) And if the insinuation of peddling porn isn’t enough, voters should also know that she did deals with Goldman Sachs! (Double Gasp!)

    This is nothing, the Alabama ad complaining about a candidates belief in evolution wins in stupidity. Or the famous “This is Alabama, we speak English” ad… wait, they’re both in Alabama. Is Alabama now in the head for state stupidity?

    Do Republicans cook their opponents before they eat them? Rare or Medium rare?

    Personally, I like the duck at P.F. Chang’s…

    Don’t trust Whitman. Cannot stand Fiorina. Would love to get rid of Feinstein and Boxer. Can we just vote for empty seats???
