Whitman looks to regain momentum in second debate (AP)

FRESNO, Calif. � Republican Meg Whitman and Democrat Jerry Brown are preparing for their second debate of the California governor's race, hoping to court Hispanic voters, who could make up 15 percent of voters this November.

Whitman, who hoped to use Saturday's forum to lure some voters from Brown, now is aiming to regain momentum.

It's been a tumultuous week for the former eBay CEo, who was forced to explain how she and her husband had an illegal immigrant housekeeper on the payroll for nine years and didn't know it.

The worker and her Los Angeles attorney produced a 2003 Social Security Administration document that raised questions about the employee's status.

Saturday's debate at California State University, Fresno will be broadcast statewide in Spanish and is being sponsored by Univision.
