California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman (R) is planning to air a 30-minute infomercial that is currently in production. How do we know? An oppo-researcher for Whitman's primary opponent, Steve Poizner, got in to the mock town-hall that will be featured in the program and taped parts of it, the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Whitman can be seen asking the crowd to cheer, and later an unknown voice asks two crowd members to re-ask their questions to give Whitman a second shot at answering them.

You'll remember Barack Obama released an infomerical late in the 2008 presidential race.

The move also comes after Whitman was railed for inviting press to an event earlier this week and then refusing to take any questions. Democratic Governors Association spokeswoman Emily DeRose had this to say after the latest Whitman news: "There is still no word on when she'll be taking unplanned questions from the public or press."
