[book_worm]

In the first poll conducted since Meg Whitman faced accusations from her former housekeeper and a debate on Univision, former Governor Jerry Brown now holds a modest advantage in California’s gubernatorial race.

The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Brown picking up 49% of the vote while Whitman draws support from 44%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate while four percent (4%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Two weeks ago, the candidates were virtually tied with Brown picking up 47% support to Whitman’s 46%.

1. That's a rasmussen poll which means you can add 5% to Brown

and deduct 5% from Whitman's total.

I'm waiting to see what happens when the REAL polls come out.

You and I travel to the beat of a diff'rent drum
Oh, can't you tell by the way I run
Ev'ry time you make eyes at me
Whoa!
-"Different Drum"
Linda Ronstadt and Jerry Brown have been singing that song discreetly to each other for some time now. So when they slipped the reins and traveled to Africa last week, their relationship suddenly began to look more meaningful than ever. Linda's fans wondered. Jerry's aides winced. And from the blue bayou to Timbuktu, gossips, groupies and political gamblers alike started asking the ultimate question: were the singer with a heart like a wheel and the governor with a soul set on the White House getting it all together at last?

The romance began across the street from the Paramount lot in Los Angeles about eight years ago. Linda was sitting dreamily in the second booth from the front door of Lucy Casada's El Adobe café, studying a plate of enchiladas, when in walked Brown, a thin young man with plenty of dreams of his own. Frank Casada, the husband of the café's warm-hearted proprietor, gave his wife a little nudge. "I said to Lucy, 'Why don't you introduce them to each other?' " he recalls. "She made the introductions. They sat there and talked a while- and things blossomed from there."
