Not. :eyes:
So much for his promise to run a clean campaign. Thanks Steve, for serving up a wedge issue for the GOP. I'm going to redouble my phone banking and precinct work over the next few weeks, to do my little part to make sure Angelides gets the win in June. Westly can go back to selling Pez dispensers on Ebay.

<snip>The angry denunciations that have riven the Democratic contest for governor broke onto the television airwaves Friday night as state Controller Steve Westly started broadcasting an ad pounding rival Phil Angelides for supporting higher taxes.
<snip>Westly's spot appeared to break his pledge not to be the first candidate in the June 6 primary to run an ad attacking his opponent by name. With the election just over three weeks away, Westly's move was aimed at stopping Angelides, the state treasurer, from gaining a decisive edge in a race with no clear front-runner and a large bloc of undecided voters.
