I swear, the race for California governor is getting stranger and stranger.

So for those who don't recall, Meg Whitman has so far spent $104 MILLION DOLLARS of her own money on her campaign. This is a woman who has never held office of any sort before. Who has not even voted in decades. But she thinks she can be governor.

Amusingly, Jerry Brown, who has spent almost nothing on ads yet, is currently in a tie with her.

But that's not the point of this post! Whitman, who is a Republican, is using Bill Clinton in her ads. I mean, WTF. Didn't the Republicans hate him endlessly? What the heck is she doing featuring 30 seconds (of him attacking Brown) in her ads!

I suppose she's being sneaky. I suppose she's trying to get Dems who like Clinton on her side. Sorry, lady, we're a hell of a lot smarter than that.
