Please, no - not after we've had to endure the Governator for 8 years... Isn't there a SINGLE QUALIFIED politician left??

Meg was recently interviewed on a show I was watching in regards as to why she left eBay. Pretty funny how she is now going for Governor. Here was the YouTube link to the interview. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jePZf_9GYiQ

I think she should try Texas. She has no chance in my California. No way no how.

[Skyhawk]

What can she do, put the state up on e-bay?

[teepeeyoyo]

She's not ready for primetime, that said, Arnold $ucks too.

I live in California and I love my state. I love it so much that I had enough sense not to vote for our current govenor. I will retain that line of thinking when I vote against Ebay lady. Leave Californians alone Meg, we've done nothing to you. We deserve much better.

A simple explanation why it is so very important you support this bill NOW...

Surely they have some qualified porn stars....

Running business and running a state are two different things. When you are a governor, you are a public servant, not a CEO who gets millions of dollars even when your company is doing really badly.

No more "businessmen" please. Our MBA president ran the country right into the ground. One decade of suffering is enough for this voter.

Right, another Republican party member with no experience in government, just experience running a monopoly, who is going to be an effective governor. I can see a push for getting rid of the capital gains taxes for the wealthy and instead increasing sales taxes on the workers. But, like Bloomberg, Meg can afford to finance her own campaign. Hopefully this will be another failed attempt to buy an election as with Mitt Romney's failed presidential bid.

Great! Just what California need. A John McCain groupie...­.I hope the people in California is paying attention.

[3dtrix]

We is...

I hope she wins the nomination. It would almost ensure a Democratic victory -regardless of who the Dem nominee is.

[hilary916]

Um...no thank you.

[addisonsteele]

Just what California needs, a governor whose entire pre-eBay career was spent exploiting underpaid and often underage foreign workers.
