.@Tesla, @Toyota, @Schwab, @Nestle, "on & on,'' says @neelkashkari about businesses leaving CA. Brown "hasn't done the work" to keep them

Absolutely: @NeelKashkari cites @ScottWalker's leadership on jobs. Over 100K jobs under Walker. California could learn a lot from his model.

@passantino What is a "Republican" in CA, really?

Neel Kashkari notes support for gay marriage. Must emphasize he's a new-school Republican to compete with Jerry Brown in Nov. 4 election.

At @CADebate: @neelkashkari “The solution to the world’s suffering kids is not an open border in America.” Kids in CA are suffering too.

Some serious sparring now over #Vergara teacher tenure ruling, Kashkari tells Brown "you should be ashamed of yourself." #CADebate

At #CADebate @neelkashkari counters that @JerryBrownGov is raising energy taxes to pay for his "vanity project." High Speed rail.

Brown to Kashkari — "What a salesman. You must have learned that on Wall Street."

— Chris Megerian (@ChrisMegerian) September 5, 2014

"You learned your job well there at Goldman Sachs" and from the rest of people who "wrecked the economy," @JerryBrownGov tells @neelkashkari

— Carla Marinucci (@cmarinucci) September 5, 2014

Brown on Kashkari trying to help California, given his Wall Street background — “It’s kind of like the arsonist putting out the fire.”

— Chris Megerian (@ChrisMegerian) September 5, 2014

"I'm the one who's raising the min wage to $10,'' who gave DL's to immgrants, @JerryBrownGov of charges he doesn't stand for working people

Kashkari on plastic bag ban — "No chance would I sign that."

— Chris Megerian (@ChrisMegerian) September 5, 2014

Kashkari wonderful on plastic bags and education. On everything else, meh. But that's good enough..

— Kyle (@kyleraccio) September 5, 2014

Kashkari — “My plan was canceled under Obamacare. My premium went up.”

— Chris Megerian (@ChrisMegerian) September 5, 2014

Kashkari says "i want to fix" Obamacare. Says 16% of Californians have no job or a part time job: Obamacare provides incentives to cut jobs

.@HouseCracka If u watched Gov. Brown vs. Neel Kashkari debate, it's very apparent. Brown will tax us to death to pay for his train, etc.

— mary (@mpg25mary) September 5, 2014

In last 5 minutes of the #CAdebate, they asked if they'd agree to another debate. Kashkari yes, Brown no. First 55 min made it obvious why.

— Nick Constantino (@NickCons) September 5, 2014

To recap: Kashkari distanced himself from GOP on gay marriage, climate change, and tonally with bipartisan pitch. Won't see that in 2016.
