new governor brings the candidates together for the first time. >> the first debate is over tonight and the candidates did not mince words. live team coverage starts right now. tom sinkovitz begins with the big picture and analysis. tom? >> well, lisa, it had been a ward of 30-second commercials until tonight. this time meg whitman and jerry brown looked each other square in the eye and tried to convince a sizeable number of voters that their plan could lead california to a better future. we're live at uc davis tonight where there was plenty of action before the debate began and surprisingly little when it was over. jean? >> reporter: tom, this was the first time brown and whitman laid out their plans to fix california, and their challanger was standing right there to respond. in some cases, to set the record straight. the candidates used their first meeting to define their governing strategy.

>> if we are going to change the direction of the state, we're going to have to do it very differently. >> because you don't know how to run a private business, you can run government. >> reporter: whitman said spending a record $19 million of her own money to fund her campaign buys her negotiating power in sacramento, something she says brown won't have because unions are funding his campaign. >> putting jerry brown in charge of negotiating with the labor unions around pensions, around how many people we have in this state government is like putting count dracula in charge of the blood ba blood bank. >> reporter: brown was quick to point out he had the record of vetoing labor. and says whitman will reward her backers with tax cuts. >> i tell you the majority will get an immediate tax break from her key economic plan, which is to eliminate totally the california capital gains tax. >> immigration is a defining

issue. >> we can't round them up and deport them like they did in eastern europe. we have to find the path to citizenship. i think if we do and we secure the borders -- >> whitman opposed the comment on citizenship, but agreed with immigration. both say creating jobs is a top priority. brown will look to bring jobs. whitman will look at tax cuts and incentives. there are lots of undecided voters out there. both sides are claiming victory, but the real question is will this performance and this debate end snl. >> so was there a winner tonight? well, that depends on whose camp you ask. and the answer was complicated by the the fact that

non-objective candidates had a different opinion in the least -- at least three budget debates. >> meg whitman talked about lowering his sperps. >> given her lack of experience, i think some people maybe wanted to see that she understood the issues and that she would be prepared for the questions that were asked, and i feel she has to come away sort of pleased with missing her performance. >> jerry brown got a big llc tonight. >> if everybody in state service has worked as long as i have, the pension system overfunded by 72 -- by the way, if you electricity me governor, i won't collect until 2006. >> he mentioned they didn't even ask that. i'm independent because i'm not running for president.

horrible crime. what a horrible thing to discover. >> it is a horrible thing to discover, but first of all, jessica, everyone i talked to trying to wrap their minds around this bizarre case. a california black bear found in front of this liquor store on sunday, and police are trying to figure out who did it and why. >> i got closer to it, i thought it was a stuffed bear. but it was a dead bear. >> not what she bargained for during closing sunday night at this burrito shop on foothill boulevard. >> it had its tongue sticking out, it was all bloody on one side. it was just dead. >> the owner of the restaurant came here shortly after gutierrez saw the animal. his young son was with him. >> we pulled into the parking lot and i'm like, oh, a drunk guy. he said, no, it's a dog. we got closer and said, it's a bear.

>> a woman saw two people in a dodge truck drag the black bear out of the bed of the truck onto the sidewalk. it was about three to five years old, shot in the shoulder. there is wild life in alameda county, but black bears do not roam the hills in the east bay. >> bearskins are valuable. and if you're a hunter, you would hold onto it, you wouldn't dump it. so i'm wondering if it's kind a trophy type thing. >> someone believed a hunter without a license used foothill boulevard as a dumping ground for the bear, but they're running out of theories. >> crazy things happen on this boulevard. it's just crazy. >> this story is crazy, and police tell me tonight they have very little to go on. they say they're looking for two
