OT: Meg Whitman Former CEO

[rdwyer]

Meg Whitman didn't care enough to vote when she was younger. So her bid to run for Calif. Governor is now in jeopardy. (Others want her to step down) Great way to run a campaign. Negative feedback on her first sale.

If she was the lady who was in charge of eBay for the last several years, during what I consider to be its decline (I think it was a MUCH better place 9 years ago, for both buyer and seller); then I think she's well suited to guide California along the financial course that the state has apparently taken the last few years. Maybe eBay could take over California, or the other way around, and the two could combine business efforts. I'd see nothing wrong with a California Store on eBay. A fellow could upload an image of himself and "buy" himself a driver's license...

She was in charge in Ebay's glory days. My guess is that if she was in charge now, she would not have blinders on like the current CEO and she would not be trying to turn Ebay into Amazon Lite.

Yep, it's the current CEO of ebay that is intent on destroying the auction aspect of ebay. Whitman (even though I don't agree with her politics) was a good leader at ebay and if she can translate that into governing a state she could be good for California.
