Meg Whitman Ad: Run California 'A Little Bit More Like A Business' (VIDEO)

Isn't this the woman that bankrupt a company and than ran away with multi-million dollars in her pocket?

No, that was Carly Fiorina. She is running for Senator against Boxer.

This woman is the former head of Ebay. She is spending billions on these ads trying to sell herself as a breath of fresh air. No thanks. We've had our fill of the terminator who was supposed to rescue California from the brink. Look how well that worked out. 6 years of Arnold and we are worse off than ever before. No more repukes.

I am curious as to why a woman with her billions, can't get a fricking hair transplant. The woman needs to cover up that moon of a forehead.

Run California a bit more like a business?

Good idea!

How about starting with the fact that no business would have a rule that required budgets to be approved by a supermajority of the board of directors?

After that, how about the fact that no well-run business would tolerate a system whereby some customers were guaranteed low prices in perpetuity while others were required to pay full-whack for the same facilities.

And to top it off, how about the fact that most businesses that had been defrauded of tens of billions of dollars by the criminal collusion of a corrupt cartel would sue the cartel for damages rather than replacing the CEO with someone who was allied with the cartel members.

You cannot imagine the amount of $$$ she's spending or the level of saturation of the airwaves.

It's positively (Michael) Huffingtonian.

Is she going to lay off half of the state employees and make the ones left work 3 times as hard and pull 15 hour work days? And tell them they should just be happy they have a job?

OMG! There Meg is up in the upper right corner of this very page -- reaping what are sure to be thousands of votes from the TPM readership.

Glad she's supporting good journalism, anyway.

OK nutjobs. You people have a fundamental problem you can't escape. That is the requirement for a balanced budget. California can't print it's own money, and at least one municipality has declared bankruptcy. It's not a matter of insufficient tax money, the tax burden is large enough to drive people out of the state.

Like Greece and it's unrealistic expenditures, Democrats will just spend with no restraint if allowed. The state may default just like a third world country if allowed to continue.

If you think that's OK, just say so. But default has all the unforseen consequences the subprime crisis brought. Like most services going away. But hey, it's your choice.
