Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman looks set to announce a run for Governor of California after quitting the corporate boards she sat on.
Whitman has now resigned from the boards of Procter & Gamble, eBay, and Dreamworks Animation. A source quoted in the Wall Street Journal said Whitman could announce her candidacy for governor in the next four to six weeks.
Whitman took a high profile during the 2008 Presidential Election as an advisor to John McCain, and has strong contacts with high profile campaigners in the Republican Party. Her campaign team will consist of Mitt Romney staff according to the report; Whitman backed Romney for the GOP spot until swinging behind McCain.
Whitman will face California Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner and former U.S. Rep. Tom Campbell for the role. Current California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s term expires in January 2011.

Meg Whitman should keep her fat ugly ass out of politics, she calls herself a republican but it was her liberal kiss up attitude that turned ebay from a respectable garage sale site into a HERE ARE THE THINGS YOU CAN OR CAN'T SELL SITE……
I'm a republican from Connecticut and I WOULD NEVER VOTE FOR HER!!!! MRS PEZ DISPENSER went from a collector to a GREEDY BITCH!!!! Kissing up to whomever put more money in her pockets!!!

Hey Dave, be reasonable with your words, that's not acceptable at all! I hope you edit this.
