DescriptionLOS ANGELES — His lead widening over Meg Whitman in the governor's race, Jerry Brown campaigned Sunday at traditionally black churches in south Los Angeles, urging a reliably Democratic constituency to vote on Election Day.

Brown, the Democratic nominee, cast himself as a populist, criticizing Whitman for her infrequent voting record and characterizing her policy proposals as elitist.

"I'm not going to tell you, but you've probably heard that the person I'm running against didn't vote most of the time," Brown said at Little Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Compton. He said California is a wealthy state and that "we've got to spread it out to everybody," not "suck it all up to the top."

Brown has made Whitman's proposal to eliminate the capital gains tax a point of emphasis, saying it would benefit the rich and cost billions of dollars.
