Whitman blankets state with ads PASADENA (AP) — It’s hard to turn off Meg Whitman. The most expensive campaign for governor in U.S. history — about $162 million and counting — is inundating California voters with an unprecedent- ed array of TV and radio ads, glossy magazines, smartphone messages, Facebook videos, postcards and phone calls that will test how far a Republican dollar can go in a state Democrats often dominate. A typical TV viewer in Los Angeles will see 23 of her commercials this week alone, many roughing up Democrat Jerry Brown, according to Democrats tracking her ad buys. The story of the Silicon Valley billionaire is being told in four languages — English, Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese. There are book- like mailers, billboards and text messages reaching vot- ers and supporters, all while she’s jetting to appear- ances across the state. Whitman It costs about $3 million for a candidate to blanket California with TV ads for one week, but from Octo- ber 10-17 her campaign spent $4.6 million, under- scoring the urgency of the effort and pushing her message from Spanish-speaking households near Los Angeles to rural areas on the Oregon border. Still, it might not be enough. Brown, after being outspent 6-1 through mid-October, opened up a slight edge in recent polls. Even Whitman appeared to concede last week that many voters in the eco- nomically battered state — unemployment is 12.4 percent — don’t know her. ‘‘People need to see me. They see me on TV. They see me on the Internet. But they haven’t seen me in real life,’’ Whitman said in Los Angeles. ‘‘I want people to know I care.’’ At an appearance Tuesday in Long Beach, Brown said he would take down his negative TV ads if Whit- man agreed to do the same. His ads, laced with unflattering photographs of his rival, pound Whitman for her spotty voting record and employing an illegal immigrant as a housekeeper. (Whitman says the maid used a fraudulently obtained Social Security card and California driver’s license; she fired her after learning of her illegal status.) Responding to Brown’s challenge, Whitman said she would continue to run ads on Brown’s record as governor from 1975 to 1983. ‘‘I want to make sure that people really understand what’s going on here,’’ she said. In TV ads, Whitman warns that Brown’s election will mean the status quo in Sacramento, something voters can’t afford. ‘‘Just a dishonest politician, trying to hide his record of failure,’’ one ad says. ‘‘Job killer, Jerry Brown.’’ The record spending has been going on for months and stands out strikingly in a state facing a budget crisis that will demand austerity for years to come. Outgoing Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who has stayed quiet in the cam- paign, will leave behind a multibillion-dollar deficit for his successor. A first-time candidate, Whitman, eBay’s former chief executive, has invested $142 million of her Internet fortune so far, most of it for ads to introduce her to the state’s 17 million voters and help overcome a 13-point Democratic edge in registration. She’s raised about $30 million from other sources. The Silicon Valley billionaire has already spent more money than Al Gore used for his 2000 presi- dential campaign. In the first two weeks of October, her operation burned through an average of $1.4 million a day. Whitman spokesman Brown Tucker Bounds, who would not discuss details of the campaign’s ad spending, argued that labor unions and Brown have together funded an equal level of ads in Southern California. ‘‘It’s like Meg is dueling with multiple gunmen,’’ Bounds said. TV is viewed as the only practical way for candi- dates to become known across the sprawling state. The reach of Whitman’s ads can be seen in figures compiled by Democrats: Most of the $4.6 million she spent Oct. 11-17 went to broadcast television reach- ing every corner of the state, but she also pumped $275,000 into Spanish-language ads in 10 cities, including Fresno, Bakersfield and Santa Barbara, and sent $560,000 to cable TV stations. Many voters wince at the deluge of candidate ads as Election Day nears, but not everyone is turning the channel. If a billionaire, ‘‘I would put in $150 million,’’ says Jeff Gendler, 65, a conservative Los Angeles sales manager who plans to vote for Whitman — somewhat uneasily, because he considers her too moderate. As for her ads, ‘‘I have no problem with that,’’ he says. In a year when some candidates are avoiding the media, Whitman is rushing to be seen in the cam- paign’s final days. On Monday, she was in Indio, near Palm Springs, and in suburban Los Angeles. On Tuesday, she appeared in Long Beach. On Wednes- day, she made several stops in Southern California, including San Diego and Riverside. Her supporters can use smartphones to get ‘‘exclusive’’ photos and video and ‘‘keep in touch’’ with Whitman through Facebook and Twitter. She recently sent a color, book-like mailer to independent voters in Los Angeles, written in the first person. ‘‘You get to know who someone really is when you learn their story and discover what has made them who they are,’’ it says. Weeks ago she eclipsed the record for personal spending set by another billionaire, New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who spent $109 million in 2009. Yet she could join other wealthy candidates whose dollars didn’t translate into victory. In his failed 1992 presidential race, Ross Perot spent $63.5 million of his own money. In California, Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein was re-elected in 1994 after being outspent 2-1 by Republican Michael Huffington, who used $28 million from his own wallet. Fiorina feels ’fantastic’ in return to campaign SACRAMENTO (AP) — Re-emerging on the campaign trail after being hospitalized over two days, Republican Senate chal- lenger Carly Fiorina on Thursday declared she is ‘‘completely can- cer free’’ and feels ‘‘fantastic.’’ The former Hewlett-Packard Co. chief executive was greeted by about 50 supporters at McClellan Business Park in suburban Sacra- mento and thanked people for their well wishes. She dismissed any concerns that her health would be a factor in her close race against Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer. ‘‘There certainly are no health concerns in the coming days,’’ Fiorina said. ‘‘It’s fairly common, unfortunately, for women who have been through the kind of breast cancer and reconstructive surgery that I went through to sometimes get infections. They need to be treated aggressively and quickly. And this one was. I feel fantastic.’’ Fiorina, 56, was admitted to the hospital Fiorina Tuesday morning and released Wednesday after being treated for an infection associat- ed with the reconstructive surgery she had over the summer after breast cancer. She resumed her busy schedule Thurs- day and was expected to appear in Orange County in the afternoon before hop-scotch- ing throughout the state during the final weekend before Election Day. Boxer also was in the Sacramento area, greeting Democratic supporters at Clean Energy Systems Inc., a firm that makes zero-emission power generators. She cast her opponent as someone who would roll back California’s environmental efforts. ‘‘She’s standing with Texas oil companies against California Boxer innovators like these,’’ Boxer said of Fiorina’s support for Proposi- tion 23, a ballot measure that seeks to suspend California’s green- house gas emissions law. Brian Griffin, board chairman of Clean Energy Systems, said the firm recently received $30 million in federal stimulus money, which will let the company expand while creating or retaining more than 150 jobs. Participants in California have suggested the program has fallen short of expectations to create long-term jobs. However, thousands of teachers, construction workers, police officers and firefighters throughout the state have been able to keep working as a result of the billions of dollars that flowed to school districts and local gov- ernments over the past two years. Fiorina on Thursday continued to oppose federal stimulus spending, which Boxer supports, and said it failed to create jobs or improve the state’s 12.4 percent unemployment rate. She said any unspent money should be used to put down the deficit. ‘‘The stimulus package was designed to create jobs, specifical- ly construction jobs and shovel-ready projects, and in that regard it failed by most every measure,’’ Fiorina said. A University of Southern California-Los Angeles Times poll released Sunday showed Boxer maintaining a narrow advantage, 47 percent to 41 percent, against Fiorina. Fiorina said she will continue to fight up to Tuesday.
