Democrat Brown releases 1st ads attacking Whitman
Source: AP, via Yahoo News

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Democrat Jerry Brown on Tuesday released his first attack ads against rival Meg Whitman, portraying the Republican candidate as the notoriously lying Pinocchio with her attacks against him in the close race for California governor.

The ads signify a shift by the Brown campaign to respond to a barrage of ads the billionaire Whitman has aired since June, including her most recent negative ad which features 1992 footage of former President Bill Clinton criticizing Brown's record during the Democratic presidential primary.

1. How funny would it be...
if Brown and Clinton made an ad together.

They could just appear sitting together, and just say the exact same lines, together in sync.
