Huffpo Blog: One bright spot, Meg Whitman eats it.

[xiamiam]

Here's the good news: Meg Whitman will not be governor of California. That might not seem like much, compared to all the bad news, about Congress, and Senator Rand Paul, but it's something. And maybe even more than something.

Maybe it's very good news.

Meg Whitman will not be governor of California. That means Mitt Romney -- from whom Meg sprung, like Athena from the head of Zeus -- can't count on winning the California primary in 2012. He might win it, but he can't promise to win it. That makes him less inevitable as the nominee, and the perception of inevitability is all he's got. Meg Whitman losing today means the Republican nomination in 2012 is anybody's game.

4. As Calif. goes, so goes the country

It seems critical to me that Meg fails. Living proof how uninformed so may Americans are if they vote for her. I looked up her bio and she has been in CA for about 10-12 years?? What the hell does she know even about the highway system. She no doubts flies everywhere - think about it...... Edit spell

6. same article..the author nails it

"It took a lifetime's work to lose that race. Sure, there was the tacky business with the housekeeper, and the money turned people off, combined with a grinding total lack of warmth, charm, wit or humility. But, in the end, it was probably over before it started. Probably the fact that she never voted was all we needed to know

It was the key to everything else. In the her fifty years on Earth before the morning Mitt told her to be governor, Meg Whitman just didn't give a shit.

And it wasn't just not voting. As far as anyone can tell she never went to a PTA meeting, or signed a petition, or wrote a letter to the editor, or put her change in the plastic can for Ronald McDonald House. Nothing.

She spent a lot of money on ads about herself. Believe me, we would have heard."

7. Sickening to think what good things Whitman, Fiorina and McMahon could have done with the $ they

spent to glorify themselves....for naught. Not just sad, DISGUSTING!!!

If I see one more ad of her's I will puke. It will stop tomorrow is what I keep telling myself.

10. I'm glad she stimulated California's economy with her millions of wasted dollars!

Thanks, NutMeg! Did you learn anything? I expect not. I expect a very bitter concession speech. Bitter and ugly.

11. She could have given each and every Californian a fiver

man, woman and child, and still had $10 million left over.
