DID LINCOLN CAMPAIGNING ON RETURNING DRED SCOTT TO HIS MASTER:

Whitman says her former housekeeper should be deported (Seema Mehta and Maeve Reston, 10/29/10, Los Angeles Times)

Republican gubernatorial nominee Meg Whitman has reignited a controversy that roiled her campaign for weeks, saying the undocumented housekeeper she employed for nine years should be deported.

The comment, her toughest yet on the matter, came in an interview with Fox News' Greta Van Susteren, who asked Whitman on Wednesday whether the former housekeeper, Nicandra Diaz Santillan, should be deported.

"Well, the answer is: It breaks my heart, but she should be deported, because she forged documents and she lied about her immigration status," Whitman said.

Latinos turn out to vote in record numbers (Martin Wisckol, 11/04/10, OC Register)

California Latinos turned out to vote in record numbers Tuesday, driven largely by the governor’s race where they favored Jerry Brown over Meg Whitman by more than 2 to 1, according to this analysis of exit polls by Cathleen Decker of the Los Angeles Times.

Latinos accounted for 22 percent of the total ballots cast in the state and while they largely turned out to vote for Brown, they then voted for other Democrats as well.
