Smith argued that the governor's strategy was a campaign based not on himself but on things that mattered: things like California's water needs and its long-term budget stability, \u003ca href=\"http://www.nbclosangeles.com/news/local/Calif-Voters-Pass-Fiscal-Propositions-1-and-2-281557631.html\" target=\"_blank\">embodied in the top two measures on the ballot and around which Brown shaped his only TV ads and stump speeches\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Instead of doing the standard thing,\" said Smith, \"how about running an election based on the voters?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea of issues and policies driving the campaign was the Brown strategy for a long time, said Dana Williamson, the governor's cabinet secretary.

(John Myers/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The chart above shows spending in each regular four-year gubernatorial cycle from 1978 through 2014. The total spending gradually rose for California campaigns from 1986 ($22.5 million) through 1994 ($46.1 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race of 2002 was the first big cash bonanza, where Gov. Gray Davis alone spent $78 million. And no race (and maybe no race ever again) will look like the one in 2010, where GOP challenger Meg Whitman spent $178.5 million -- most of it her own money -- along with almost $37 million spent by Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what did it cost to get the votes? Take the total votes cast and the money spent, and you find the 2014 gubernatorial race cost about $1.81 per vote. That, too, is an amazing piece of data ... considering news stories from 1986 calculated the race that year (Gov. George Deukmejian beating Democrat Tom Bradley) at $3.04 per vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But comparing the 2014 gubernatorial spending with that from 1978 isn't really fair... to 1978. After all, adjusting for inflation, the final race of the '70s would have been equal to almost $51 million in campaign spending today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, a better comparison would be other 2014 races -- like the heated contest in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/21/one-theme-two-races-in-orange-county-for-california-legislature/\" target=\"_blank\">Orange County\u003c/a> for the 34th state Senate. Total cost, when you tally candidates and independent expenditures: about $11.1 million, close to the Brown-Kashkari battle.

(John Myers/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The chart above shows spending in each regular four-year gubernatorial cycle from 1978 through 2014. The total spending gradually rose for California campaigns from 1986 ($22.5 million) through 1994 ($46.1 million).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The race of 2002 was the first big cash bonanza, where Gov. Gray Davis alone spent $78 million. And no race (and maybe no race ever again) will look like the one in 2010, where GOP challenger Meg Whitman spent $178.5 million -- most of it her own money -- along with almost $37 million spent by Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what did it cost to get the votes? Take the total votes cast and the money spent, and you find the 2014 gubernatorial race cost about $1.81 per vote. That, too, is an amazing piece of data ... considering news stories from 1986 calculated the race that year (Gov. George Deukmejian beating Democrat Tom Bradley) at $3.04 per vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But comparing the 2014 gubernatorial spending with that from 1978 isn't really fair... to 1978. After all, adjusting for inflation, the final race of the '70s would have been equal to almost $51 million in campaign spending today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No, a better comparison would be other 2014 races -- like the heated contest in \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/21/one-theme-two-races-in-orange-county-for-california-legislature/\" target=\"_blank\">Orange County\u003c/a> for the 34th state Senate. Total cost, when you tally candidates and independent expenditures: about $11.1 million, close to the Brown-Kashkari battle.

Peterson has won a number of newspaper endorsements, but the veteran legislator Padilla has a strong fundraising edge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Treasurer\u003c/strong>: Democrat John Chiang, attempting to move from state controller to California's top banker, leads Republican Greg Conlon by 11 points -- though Chiang had a huge 26-point lead two months ago. This race has been, frankly, a yawner.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Insurance Commissioner\u003c/strong>: Incumbent Democrat Dave Jones is leading GOP challenger Ted Gaines by 12 points, though there are more undecided voters -- 22 percent -- than in any race other than schools chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It should be noted that the Field Poll assumes the Nov. 4 electorate will be noticeably more Republican than the party's official statewide registration (by about 6 points). That may make some of these races other than governor not quite as predictable as they now seem -- especially seeing as only 28 percent of Field's likely voters consider themselves to be liberal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>UPDATE: This post was tweaked Thursday morning to reflect a more accurate total of independent expenditures from the major players, which turned out to be higher than our first stab at the math, and to reflect that most of that money is in support of Marshall Tuck.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/10346011/new-poll-democrats-dominate-schools-chief-showdown","authors":["232"],"programs":["news_6944"],"series":["news_6304"],"categories":["news_13"],"tags":["news_5215","news_30","news_5532"],"featImg":"news_26477","label":"news_6944"},"news_10345375":{"type":"posts","id":"news_10345375","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"10345375","score":null,"sort":[1414456560000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"brown-launches-re-election-bid-sort-of","title":"Brown Launches Re-Election Bid.

Let’s rewind the clock for a moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, a Superior Court judge in Los Angeles issued a \u003ca href=\"http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/local/court-decision-in-vergara-v-california/1031/\">landmark ruling\u003c/a> that says three state laws actually allow bad teachers to keep their jobs, depriving students of a quality education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.neelkashkari.com/%20\">Neel Kashkari,\u003c/a> the man gunning to be the state's next governor, was quick to jump all over that ruling during his only debate with incumbent \u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/home.php\">Jerry Brown\u003c/a>, who is \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1283281-teacher-vergara-canoticeofappeal082914.html%20\">appealing the ruling\u003c/a>. “You sided with the union bosses.

Brown retorted, “That makes no sense at all. That is so false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the judge's decision stands, California would be the first state in the country where teachers could get fired almost regardless of their seniority. Kashkari has focused his entire campaign in the last few weeks on the judge's decision, including a controversial \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/17/neel-kashkari-campaign-tv-ad\">TV ad of a child drowning in a pool \u003c/a>– who Kashkari says represents the kids Brown refuses to rescue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this underscores just how explosive the issue of tenure has become this election season, and nowhere more so than in the race for state superintendent of public instruction.

Political ads play up Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://timsbranti.com/%20\">Tim Sbranti's\u003c/a> teaching experience in the 16th Assembly District, made up of well-to-do suburbs east of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sbranti wasn't just an educator. He also led the political action committee for the California Teachers Association, arguably the state's most powerful interest group. He says he was proud to serve: “I knew at the time then and now that I had to do and stand up for what is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught up with Sbranti at a recent debate against his opponent, Republican \u003ca href=\"http://bakerforassembly.com/\">Catharine Baker\u003c/a>, whose campaign speeches and mailers play up Sbranti's union connections -- and her opposition to teacher tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sbranti says what's missing from this whole debate is what California should be doing to help educators become more effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My biggest focus is what are we doing to uplift the other 95 percent of teachers who are dedicated to their craft, who want to do right by students. What are we doing to make above-average teachers, great?

She's been racking up newspaper endorsements, in part because of her stand on tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many parents like her support fewer teacher job protections. “And there’s nothing they can do about it. And principals are frustrated. And the really great teachers that we have all throughout our schools, they’re frustrated, too, because they know they’re treated exactly the same as someone who may be less effective in that career,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-poll-vergara-20140626-story.html\">statewide poll over the summer on teacher tenure\u003c/a> seems to reflect that dissatisfaction.

To get the dollars in there so we can have smaller class sizes, bring back art music and drama, have stronger academics,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cta.org\">Teachers unions\u003c/a> hope that message will get across to voters and have poured more than $2 million into Torlakson's bid for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those same unions are staking a claim in several legislative races where teacher seniority is also a hot-button issue. Political ads play up Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://timsbranti.com/%20\">Tim Sbranti's\u003c/a> teaching experience in the 16th Assembly District, made up of well-to-do suburbs east of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sbranti wasn't just an educator. He also led the political action committee for the California Teachers Association, arguably the state's most powerful interest group. He says he was proud to serve: “I knew at the time then and now that I had to do and stand up for what is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught up with Sbranti at a recent debate against his opponent, Republican \u003ca href=\"http://bakerforassembly.com/\">Catharine Baker\u003c/a>, whose campaign speeches and mailers play up Sbranti's union connections -- and her opposition to teacher tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sbranti says what's missing from this whole debate is what California should be doing to help educators become more effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My biggest focus is what are we doing to uplift the other 95 percent of teachers who are dedicated to their craft, who want to do right by students. What are we doing to make above-average teachers, great? Or -- great teachers off the charts?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Baker, his challenger, doesn't buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker is an attorney and a mother of two school-age children, and says she's seen firsthand how bad teachers can hold kids back. She's been racking up newspaper endorsements, in part because of her stand on tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many parents like her support fewer teacher job protections. “And there’s nothing they can do about it. And principals are frustrated. And the really great teachers that we have all throughout our schools, they’re frustrated, too, because they know they’re treated exactly the same as someone who may be less effective in that career,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-poll-vergara-20140626-story.html\">statewide poll over the summer on teacher tenure\u003c/a> seems to reflect that dissatisfaction.

A failure of oversight by Treasury.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I love the luxury of 20/20 hindsight,” Kashkari responded during a recent appearance on KQED’s \u003cem>Forum\u003c/em>. “We were trying to prevent the American, and the global, economy from collapsing.” Still, he didn’t dispute the critique. “With all the luxury of six years to contemplate this, sure, we’d do lots of little things differently.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Thankless Task\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campaign trail, Kashkari says TARP got every dollar back, and turned billions in profit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s actually a contested point. While repayments, interest and dividends have generated billions more in revenue than what the government paid out, TARP’s special inspector general \u003ca href=\"http://www.sigtarp.gov/Quarterly%20Reports/July_30_2014_Report_to_Congress.pdf\">argues the government is still owed about $40 billion in principal\u003c/a>. Kashkari disputes that figure, pointing to \u003ca href=\"http://www.treasury.gov/initiatives/financial-stability/reports/Pages/TARP-Tracker.aspx\">the Treasury Department’s official accounting\u003c/a>, which backs his claim.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But to the larger point, UC Berkeley Law Professor Steven Davidoff Solomon says the answer is pretty clear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“TARP was undoubtedly a success,” said Solomon, who has written several papers on the government’s response to the financial meltdown. “The fact that we’re standing here and the banks are up, and the economy is growing -- maybe not as fast as we want [it] to -- clearly shows that TARP was a success. It stopped the financial crisis.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it was seen as rewarding the banks that helped create the crisis to begin with. That doesn’t play well in politics, which may explain why candidate Kashkari doesn’t talk about TARP a lot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yes, it may have kept the country out of a depression.
