Ex-eBay CEO Meg Whitman has confirmed that she is running for Governor of California.
Whitman took the first formal step today, launching a committee to back her campaign.
“California faces challenges unlike any other time in its history – a weak and faltering economy, massive job losses, and an exploding state budget deficit,” Whitman said in a statement. “I refuse to stand by and watch it fail.”
Whitman also launched her website at megwhitman.com, with a slogan of Meg 2010, and the following opening statement
A New California, simply put, is returning California to the time when it ranked first among the nation in prosperity, education, and quality of life. Meg Whitman believes that, together we can rebuild our Golden State.
Despite its liberal voting base, California has a history of voting for Republican Governors.

And what will another Republican have to offer but more Social Darwinism? The problem with Right-wing ideology is that at its core lies the idea that it's morally acceptable to let poor people starve to death. This has always been the fundamental principle. Well, thanks, but no thanks. If you're not for the People, do society a favor and stay home.

Oh goody, more corporate greed trying to take over California, then the WORLD! (evil laugh!)
Oh wait, that's how it been for 8 years (and beyond) and things are now changing back to how they're supposed to be, when people had to possess ETHICS and MORALS, as well as skill and intelligence to run for public office.
Sorry Whitman, you possess exactly none of the above.
