Meg will get the last laugh as California continues to tank under even more liberal policies. She should open a business in Texas and make it successful with many jobs just to taunt them.

Meg should have just bought Mexico.

Every single week, Gov. Palin took on Obama and the corrupt DNC.
The other RINOs (led by Rove, Cornyn, the NRSC) attacked
select GOP-election-chosen candidates thought to eventually be a threat
to .... Mitt Romney.
Meanwhile, Romney’s poodles in California and Massachusetts
appear to have been clubbed to death by citizens who hate Romney,
his surrogates and his RomneyCARE.

Meg Whitman's campaign guru donated max to Obama -- while she advised McCain
"Even as former eBay CEO Meg Whitman acted as a high-profile backer and adviser to 2008
GOP presidential candidate John McCain, her top aide Henry Gomez -- now an eMeg
gubernatorial campaign majordomo -- donated the maximum to Democrat Barack Obama,
federal records show. Gomez, a trusted top insider in Republican Whitman's 2010 gubernatorial
campaign, donated the maximum $2,300 allowed to the general election campaign of Obama
in the days before -- and the weeks following -- the former eBay CEO's high profile televised
address to the GOP National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he accompanied Whitman around the..."

The simple answer is that Whitman didn’t have the nostalgia factor for old hippies that Brown does.

Government is a generational thing. Like it or not, the old hippies are in charge. But luckily their time is growing short.

Simple, Meg is Arnie in a skirt. No more RINOs, just nutbag ex has been professional maxlib Governors will do.

LOL!!! True indeed!

Meg is the latest episode in a long line of people
who made lots of money in one field using that money
(and pride) to buy themselves in a situation they
haven’t earned the skills and experience to thrive
within.

Think the doctors who died on top of Mount Everest.
Plenty of money to hire porters to lead them up there,
buy travel and equipment. In the end, they did not
have the skills or experience needed to stand on
Everest and thrive.

my 2 cents.

“Meg will get the last laugh as California continues to tank under even more liberal policies”

I think that the true conservatives will get the last laugh as California careens over the cliff with only the democrats to blame. The GOP controlled house of represantives is unlikely to bail out California. I don’t feel bad about Whitman’s defeat.

I wonder how Whitmans husband and daugters are feeling about the $165 million that mom flushed down the toilet with her stupid campaign. She needs to find a hobby.

This year, a “moderate Republican” was not going to energize anybody.

[Psycho_Bunny]

She ran in California. That’s what went wrong.

[Califreak]

I’m pretty sure it’s a UNION thang.

[ansel12]

Whitman was a Romney creation, he even moved to California to steer her to the Governorship as part of his 2012 machine.

[factmart]

California is lost, all freedom loving people should leave the state!

All business that can leave, should leave!

Why help the socialists?

Come to Wisconsin, we our open for business!

250,000 conservatives votes would turn this state blue forever!
