From the Miami Herald:
Ready your TV and your stomach for an hour of smears, self-aggrandizement and, with
any luck, an airing of the issues facing California: Meg Whitman and Jerry Brown meet
tonight in Davis for the first of three televised debates.... "Not just a slogan,"
said Mark Petracca, a political science professor at the University of California,
Irvine. "Compound sentences, or sentences that actually manage to capture a fully
expressed idea." If Whitman is, as Petracca says, the "sound bite queen," he calls
Brown, the Democratic nominee, "Big Gulp." Said Petracca: "There's too much when he
opens his mouth."
