Whitman is very talented and it’s interesting to think of her running for public office. Still, California is facing a lot of challenges and I’m not sure if anyone can solve them.

If she wins, I’m moving out of California. eBay has always had less respect for its users than it ought to. They way they handled so many things makes me wonder just what a Whitman administration would mean.

I’m hoping democrats can put up a decent candidate to take the governorship back from the trickle down fundamentalists.
