So, what do we get in exchange? A Meg Whitman who double facedly contributes to environmental organizations and then wants to slow down or cancel those environmental controls that would save us. She seem to be getting much the better of a Jerry Brown who hasn’t even officially decided to enter the race… so positive is he of winning on his good name alone.
