Primaries: How We Ended Up with Brown and Whitman.

As promised, video of the UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies panel on the 2010 California Governor's Race. Worth watching, if just for the Team Poizner one-liners.



How did the two nominees emerge? What were the key turning points in the Republican primary battle between Meg Whitman and Steve Poizner? Does Tom Campbell's campaign hold lessons for Republican moderates? How did Jerry Brown clear the Democratic field? Did Gavin Newsom's aborted campaign have any lasting impact? Why did no other major challengers emerge?
