What an attitude - refreshing

Meg Whitman, founder and former CEO of eBay, has announced her intention to run for the Governor of California.

She has a lot of ideas that she would like to see implemented. What the electorate thinks about those ideas is open for debate as the campaign unfolds.

Set politics aside for a minute. What I want to comment on is her attitude.

She said that the reason she is running is because she refuses to let California fail. Strong words, great attitude.

Very talented lady!  Her leadership abilities are needed in public service. Should be a good race.

Debra,

I don't know that much about her either - other than what I saw in this brief interview. :)

All I can say is good luck when confronting the very liberal controlled house in California.

John,

She has identified that California has a hostile business environment - now if she has any ideas to do anything about it. :)

Steve.. I like her commitment, and her opinion.  However, does she have a political background?  I'll have to check this out.

Valerie,

For my money, a political background is a detriment. :)

Paul,

I agree. It refreshing to see someone with a different perspective. :)

I don't know much about her... but I like the simple fact she sees a problem and intends to offer solutions.

Ryan,

Isn't that refreshing - and she doesn't intend (at this point anyway) to ask Washington for help. :)

That will be interesting running against the Terminator. Should be interesting.

Steve,

We will watch and see. Maybe it will cause a focus on some key issues. :)
