Outgoing eBay CEO Meg Whitman isn't retiring to life on the golf course. The L.A. Times reports today that Whitman may run for governor of California.
"Whitman has talked with top Republicans about the possibility of a run for California governor in 2010, according to three operatives who have had discussions with her. Whitman is said to be asking detailed questions about the logistics of a run and the effect she could have as governor, according to the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to reveal the conversations."
Whitman said this week that she'll retire from eBay by March 31, after a 10-year run as chief executive. Aside from being a fundraiser for Mitt Romney, Whitman has very little experience in politics. Still, that hasn't stopped others from getting elected to the post.
By the way, Whitman's retirement news doesn't seem to have hit investors too hard. Ebay shares are down just 2% from Tuesday, the day before she announced her career plans.

If she really wanted to be governor, she would have better luck running as a democrat.
All contracts are to be bid on ebay. This could be fun

If elected, she would freeze all of California's state financial accounts without telling anyone why.
