DGA readies attacks on Whitman

The Democratic Governor's Association seems to have already decided which GOP candidate will win next June's gubernatorial primary.

Hotline on Call:

The DGA announced the launch of the GOP Accountability Project, a $5M effort to "educate" voters about several GOP candidates who "have have advanced economic agendas that would deepen our economic crisis when we can least afford it."

.... Markell said the program will target ex-eBay CEO Meg Whitman (R) in CA, ex-Rep. Scott McInnis (R) in CO, AG Bill McCollum (R) in FL, ex-Gov. Terry Branstad (R) in IA and ex-Rep. John Kasich (R) in OH.

The latest polls agree with the DGA.

A November 9 USC/LA Times poll had Whitman leading her closest Republican primary foe, Tom Cambpell, by 8%, while a Capitol Weekly poll released on November 5 had her up 22%.
