These ads are making me sick. She left eBay in a mess, encouraging the company to kowtow to the big businesses and forget about us little guys. Wish I had money to take out ads setting her record straight.
They're calling her a problem solver and someone from the business community who's needed instead of all those "professional politicians." I saw enough of the business people in local politics a few years ago; to a man they wanted to flout the laws, skirt the issues, and. . . if the developers' lips were moving, they were lying.

She is a problem solver and someone from the business community. She was successful at eBay. Unfortunately, her success was determined by shareholders, not eBay sellers.
Her job was to empty the pockets of sellers, improve buying. I think she was successful.
In fact, I would call her a business model Robin Hood. Steal from the poor... give to the rich.

Right! Although I don't agree with her political policy, Meg Whitman was an undeniable success at Ebay but as you suggested, a reverse Robin Hood.

Yes unfortunately she does have a chance. She is currently a billionaire and is willing to spend whatever it takes. Remember Swartzenegger is the current governor.

Well, latest news today indicates that Meg spent $81 million on her campaign for Republican nomination. She used $71 million of her own money.

President Barack H. Obama is still very popular in California. His popularity in that state may help Jerry Brown.
