Whitman's gubernatorial opponent, Jerry Brown, is the current Attorney General and has refused to defend Proposition 8, as has current Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris is running against Cooley for Attorney general and has said she would not defend Proposition 8 in court because she feel it is unconstitutional.
The ads are set to begin airing on Monday, September 27, and will run on the CNN, FOX and MSNBC affiliates in the Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Diego and Palm Springs metropolitan areas.

Meg Whitman is easily the most disturbing candidate we have running for California Governor. She is super-conservative in all the wrong ways. Steve Cooley is the same way too. However, Jerry Brown is not that much better than these Republican candidates. Whoever gets elected I have little-to-no confidence in as governor of California.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that in the commercial they showed a same-sex couple as two beautiful women instead of two men. Could that have been intentional by the EQCA?
This is one of the first time EQCA has ever shown a same-sex couple in its TV advertising. It's well-known that the public reacts less negatively to lesbians than gay male couples, which is why they are more likely to be depicted in persuasion ads.
