Since winning the GOP nomination last month, California gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman (R) has been saturating the airwaves with Spanish-language TV ads, all in an effort to win over Latino voters. And there's evidence she's making progress on this front.
Now an SEIU-backed independent expenditure is airing a TV ad -- at a substantial buy -- to reminder Latino voters that Whitman's campaign chairman is former GOP. Gov. Pete Wilson, who championed the controversial Prop. 187.
“The research that’s been done in California shows that Meg Whitman is really hurt with Latino voters when they are informed" of Wilson's ties to Whitman's campaign, a union official emails First Read.
Here's the script of the Spanish-language ad (translated to English):
Pete Wilson is in charge of her campaign…and she won the Republican primary attacking us.
She is a billionaire who gives tax breaks to corporations… …while cutting health care for working people.
And she wants to prevent all of our children from having the same opportunity to attend university.
Whitman says one thing in Spanish --- and the opposite when she speaks in English.
The real Whitman has no shame. She’s two faced.
*** UDPATE *** The Whitman campaign responds: "Not only are these ads false, Jerry Brown is literally outsourcing his campaign's dirty work to the entrenched special interest groups that prop up his candidacy. Now how is that not the actual definition of 'two faced'?"
The Whitman campaign also has this new Spanish-language radio ad.

Hey, Latinos may speak 2 languages but they are not 2 faced.
HaHa Meg Whitman is spending all that money and democratic ex-governorJerry Brown is leading. It just proves at this point money can't buy you everything.
Might I add that Carly Fiona drove Hewlett Packard in the ground. Conservative much? They're both tea bagging wackos. Si!!
Thats the problem, they dont speak English,They're English is just as bad as they're spanish. Most of them are Intellectually too Lazy to learn anything other than "TURNING ON THE SWITCH WHEN TOLD!!
And yes, they are the most Two Face Bastard Race I've ever encountered. They are more Racist than the Klu Klux Klan. If thats not racist What is???
YOU LIE.
Oh, NO. That was JOe WilsOn. SO SOrry.
It must be Friday afternoon.
To respond to Meg's response - Jerry's "entrenched special interest" groups are unions, which represent working class people. He's already said that he understands that excessive pensions are a problem and will work against the unions to reduce the deficit. Meg implicitly represented the special interest group known as the "super rich" and has said repeatedly that she will do everything she can to make the rich even richer by cutting taxes. So, I guess Meg isn't two-faced in the sense that she's pretty open about her agenda...

This woman is the definition of "two-faced" and we will defeat her in the November election. She's really wasting her money.
Thank you, Meg Whitman for showing us that you will stoop to any level to get into office. Why sould you waste your money campaigning to people whom common sense should tell you that if they cant speak English then they most likely cannot legally vote and have not been through the Imigration and Natrualization Process. and since they have not Legally migrated into the country then they are Illegal Foriegn Aliens. Wem dont need anyone governing this state to lift up the people from another country while tearing down and Economically weakening the American Blue collar Workers. "WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH !!"
Considering that Pete Wilson was one of the worst Governors California has ever had it figures he would support Whitman who, by the way, would probably be even worse. It was dealings during the Wilson and, later the Davis Administrations, that allowed Enron to rip of Californians regarding energy.
