Los Angeles Times | Oct. 24, 2010 | 5:19 a.m.

Defections from Meg Whitman's ranks on the part of women, Latinos and nonpartisan voters have fueled a surge by Jerry Brown in the race for governor, according to a new Los Angeles Times/USC poll.

Brown, the Democratic attorney general and former governor, led Whitman 52% to 39% among likely voters, the poll found. His advantage has more than doubled since a Times/USC poll in September.

Democratic incumbent Barbara Boxer held onto her 8-point margin over Republican Carly Fiorina in the U.S. Senate contest.

1. For another 20 million bucks in self-funding, Meg

can fall behind another 10 points before election day.

2. LOL. Pretty expensive hole she bought (dug) for herself.

4. Hi, pinto. Yep. Ol' Meg is awful quick to whip out the

check book in this race and it just hasn't gotten her anywhere.

3. Keep whittling it down meg! C'mon! You can afford it!

Funny - she just somehow couldn't find it in her heart OR her huge bank account to pay a decent salary to her domestic employees when she could so easily afford it, but MAN can she find it when it comes to buying herself a governor's office. Ahh priorities! It's the republi-CON way!

5. I'm still apprehensive about Fiorina- we've got to keep Barbara Boxer
