OT: Meg Whitman's own $71 million
Paul Popinjay
he had no chance. Talk about "nose-bleed stakes"!
"Whitman spent more than $71 million of her own money on the campaign and
more than $88 million overall. Poizner mostly funded his losing effort with
more than $25 million of his own money."

That is a frightening thought. I don't expect much from Whitman, but I
remember Jerry Brown very well, and what was particularly damaging were his
appointments. Rose Bird was a disaster. He was a disaster.

Yeah, Meg is great - she hired lots of people at EBay, so she
therefore obviously has the experience necessary to reduce
unemployment in California. She also noted that the state of
California employs twice as many attorneys as the largest law firm in
the country. Twice as many!
Brown, on the other hand, has never been a successful CEO of an online
auction house, so he couldn't possibly have the experience necessary
to be governor.

California should elect Willie Brown governor.

I never said Whitman was great. I said we had better hope she beats
Brown. If anything he was a worse governor than Arnold.

Be kinda difficult since he's no longer with us. Didn't he die about two
years ago?

He did? Then who is ghost-writing his column in The Chronicle?
Heh... ghost-writing... maybe he is writing the column from beyond the
grave.

No, he's still alive.
Bill T
lobby bar in a Palo Alto hotel, sipping my wine, when she and a small
entourage walked by. We exchanged small pleasantries, but what struck me
was how physically enormous she was. Her head was gigantic, on the order
of the Rand-MacNally globes we had in classrooms as kids. She had a
brilliant smile, so dazzling that I suspect that some radioactive
material cover all those veneers. Not sure about her height, but close
to 6 feets, with shoulders and built to match.
If if I didn't know her to be a billionaire and gubernatorial candidate,
I would still have been struck by her sheer size. For a woman, she is
big bordering on freakishness.

Oh, c'mon now.
You think any Conservative woman is freakish.
