Meg's amateurish response

John Seiler: As I’ve been writing, despite spending more than $120 million (so far), Meg Whitman’s campaign is amateurish. The Nannygate scandal shows that.

When the scandal broke, what she should have said was, “I’ve been saying all along that I will create jobs for Latinos and Jerry Brown would destroy them. This is a great example. I hired a poor Latina and gave her $23 an hour. Now Jerry is attacking me for it! That’s because he wants to kill Latino jobs.”

That should be her only position. At the debate on Saturday on Univision, that should be her answer. If the question is, “How can you explain the Social Security letter for your maid?” Then Meg should respond, “I’ve been saying all along that I will create jobs for Latinos and Jerry Brown would destroy them,” etc.

And so on. Just stay on message.

Can’t any Republicans campaign to win?
