Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown are both good choices. I am pretty sure they are both honest, sincere and mean well.
Meg Whitman as a businesswomen turned a small but great startup company into a hugely successful world-renowned multi-billion business and made tons of employees and shareholders very happy in the process. She should be commended to put her money where the mouth is and at least try to do something for the state which made it happen.
Jerry Brown spent his whole life in public service. As far as I can tell, he appears to be one of the most honest, down to earth politician with considerable intellectual firepower.
How you vote should be dictated more by the policies you believe in. There should be no reason to doubt the sincerity of either of them.
I voted for Whitman mainly because I believe that we need to shrink the size and scope of state govt.
