2010 California Governor Election!!!!!

While I was researching the candidates for California Governor online there were many resources and videos that popped up. The main candidates that constatntly came up on every search were Jerry Brown, who is part of the Democratic Party and Meg Whitman, whos is part of the Republican party. Before this I honestly never knew anything about the candidates before this research and because I don't have a television in my room, the main mass media resource I use for information is the internet. After researching a little on who the important candidates for Governor is I went in dept and researched their own websites which are, jerrybrown.org and megwhitman.com. I found it very useful that when I was researching all six candidates i the beginning it was very common that they all had their own website and I found that very interesting because about ten years ago it probably would've been different and it showed me how fast technology can create great resources for the public. Anyways while I was educating myself on the two main candidates, I found Jerry Brown to be the favorite of California because Brown was the California Attorney General, Oakland Mayor, ex-governor, ex-secretary of state, and ex-democratic chair. Jerry Brown has been in politics for over forty years which shows me that he has the experience to be a great governor. Other things that I learned about Brown was that he supports the global warming agenda, he is a gun advocate, opposed marijuana legalization and supports same sex marriage. On the other end I found Meg Whitman to be least supported by the people because of her past mistakes. What I learned about Whitman is that she was the CEO of Ebay, she supports major corporate expansions, opposes Arizona immagiration law, opposes marijuana legalization (something both candidates have in common), and is tied to global corporate structure.While I was researching online looking through newspapers I found that in the primary election Jerry Brown had 2.021,189 votes and Meg Whitman had 1,529,534 votes. What I found interesting was that many of the articles that are writing about Meg Whitman are giving a negative vibe because of her pas issue with spending millins of dollars. Besides learning about the candidates, I found it very easy to use the internet, whihc included Google, Wikipedia, youtube, newspapers online, the candidates websites, etc. But on the other hand what I found twice is that some websites did not have updated information which confused me because that is how misleading the media can be online. Therefore, I found it easy to stick to traditional ways and use the newspaper as my best resource on the California Governor race because it is updated everyday so you know you are not reading old news and is accessible online. Lastly, I also found it very disturbing that there are many people who are very strong supporters of one candidate and they create videos and write articles about how the candidate is not only a very bad candidate for Governor, but how he/she is a very bad persona and doesn't know how to dress. On youtube and huffingpost.com I found many videos with negative information about the candidates and found it interesting to see that many people already watched them and the comments they wrote seemed like a social debate online where there are many people leaving their own opinion on them and others opposing their opinion. I just found it very interesting that videos such as these are creating issues between random people around the world.
