As I noted in my June election report, Governor Jerry Brown will be facing Republican challenger Neel Kashkari in California's gubernatorial race.
There one and only debate between them was held Thursday. Prior to the event, conservatives in California were wondering if, given the fact Brown holds a tremendous lead in the polls, Kashkari would decide to throw caution to the win and aggressively attack Brown's recent record in office.
After a slow start, it appears that the answer was yes:
Gov. Jerry Brown's long-shot Republican challenger blasted him for failing to do enough to land a Tesla battery plant Thursday during the only scheduled debate of this year's governor's race, a testy, hour-long exchange.It appears that was a winning approach, as word of Kashkari's excellent performance spread through the world of social media on Friday.
