Whitman Association w/John Mc Cain

posted by

I am a life long Republican but Sen. Mc Cain's association with Meg Whitman may change my politics.
Does Sen. Mc Cain understand the sentiment held by most, long time eBay members? I can think of no other individual who is so despised by so many people world wide, than Meg Whitman.
Unless the goverment of California is more corrupt than Washington D.C., I can't imagine Meg Whitman being elected to any office above Dog Catcher.

"Gavin Newsom is the most interesting and intelligent new face in California politics since I moved here in 1991 -- and maybe in the last three decades," South said in a statement. "He is bold and fearless and does big things. I'm delighted to bring my gubernatorial campaign experience to his race for governor."

-- Famed California political strategist Garry South on joining San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's 2010 gubernatorial exploratory committee.
