SACRAMENTO (AP) -- Former eBay Chief Executive Meg Whitman officially launched her bid to seek the Republican nomination for California governor on Monday, capping a year-long tour on the political stage after leaving her high-profile Silicon Valley post.
The 52-year-old political neophyte began testing her affinity for politics after leaving the online auction site after 10 years last January. She served as finance chairwoman for Mitt Romney's presidential campaign and then as a national co-chair of John McCain's.
Webercom: If Republicans are going to regain their majorities in the House, Senate and statehouses, they need more of this...new candidates. The success of 1994 (on which I will write more later) was driven not just by the Contract with America, but by entire new group of GOP candidates. R's need new ideas, but they also need new faces...and a lot of them need to be folks new to the political arena.
