Maybe the Democrats could get their own Alvin Greene type to replace Moonbeam as the candidate . He would run against that evil successful lady .

OMG….you mean she’s actually had to balance a budget….and she did it while creating a very successful company. Well we sure they heck can’t have that Colby. One thing California needs is someone that knows how to balance a budget….hell…the USA needs someone that can balance a budget.

All those old hippies that got stuck in the 1970′s will be able to relate to Moonbeam.

My God she’s successful and good at running things… DON’T VOTE FOR HER!!!! For God’s sake!!!

Wow Colby….this article got pushed off the main page quick.

Colby, unlike Frances you actually know how to write an accurate headline and a balanced story.

I agree, this ad will probably HELP Meg’s campaign. It will only appeal to people with 2-digit IQs.

Someone told me and I checked it on Wikipedia, in 2008 Alaska, paid each Alaskan citizen, from their oil revenues, $ 3,269.00 per year, that even includes children. Can you imagine how good that would make you feel, having that much coming in for the year just for living there.
Now, if Meg Whitman can do that for California, maybe I could vote for her. Problem is, when man with money meets man with esperience, man with experience gets the money and man with money gets the experience. Now, if she has both-money and experience, she is probably a has-been. I don’t think I will vote for her.

Weird. Why if your state is in the cash toilet would you not want someone who understands money so she can make you money? … the video says we want someone from our word? I wouldn’t. I would want someone who is better to lead up. So we may benefit directly from their actions and learn indirect how to be wiser with our own local and personal economy.

When was being a billionaire bad? How can you say she doesn’t understand the people. She is not selling oil or sunlight. She was selling a marketplace for people in their basements to sell their useless shit … EBAY! I would say she understands you very well. She served many many many people and the fruit of her ideas and actions came in billions. Congrats Meg on your successes. I hope I and my great great grandchildren will still have the chance to EARN our fortunes .. even if it is in the billions. Thanks for the inspiration.

Yes Sir, out here in the land of fruits & nuts, we’ve got a choice between beevis & butthead for Governor. We have the nations highest number of embedded illegal alien parasites contributing to at least half of our annual state deficit-budget, which is running close to $30.Billion!
I’d like to say we’re in a world of deep-dodo here but that would be understating the issue! Don’t be surprise if within 3-5 years your not seeing civil unrest of the type we’re witnessing in Europe. The prevailing thinking out here is “AMMO-UP, IT’S COMING”….

“My God she’s successful and good at running things”

The problem for Meg is that she was NOT “good at running things.”

She failed at ebay.

Between 2004 and 2008 (when Whitman resigned from eBay), the company’s stock dropped roughly 50 percent. By jacking up fees and instituting burdensome rules, Whitman alienated her loyal sellers and earned her company nicknames like FeeBay and GreedBay. She also led what is widely viewed as one of eBay’s biggest fumbles: buying the internet phone service Skype (which most eBay sellers never used). Less than two years after the purchase, Whitman admitted paying too much for the company and wrote off over half of the $2.6 billion purchase price In another misstep, Whitman tried to force eBay buyers to complete their transactions using the eBay payment-processing service Billpoint, rather than the user-favored PayPal. There was an uproar, and the function was quickly made optional, but when eBay purchased PayPal the next year for $1.5 billion, they paid hundreds of millions more than they might have before the blunder.

She sounds like she is just what California needs…

So, not only does she understand fiscal responsibility, the citizens of California can be comforted by knowing that she’s not in it for the money.
