“Meg Whitman, the former CEO of eBay who is running for governor in 2010, has promised that, if elected, she will immediately suspend the job-killing, economy-retarding Global Warming Solutions Act, Assembly Bill 32,” according to the O.C. Register.
That seems like a good idea. This also means that Whitman’s first act as Governor will be to reverse the core of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s legacy.
But is this a big enough issue to put Whitman over the top in the primary – and will it help her to defeat either Jerry Brown or Gavin Newsom? Both of those Democrats are nutty about green issues.
And where does this put Whitman with respect to California voters? Are these voters as nutty as most Democrats when it comes to the environment?
I think we all want to protect the environment, but should that mean killing jobs and making this state even more unfriendly to businesses?
Search the web to see what Ebay sellers are saying about Whitman. You might be surprised.
I don’t care what ebay is saying about Meg. If she kills the job killing GWSA – she is my gal.

Shes a HUGE fan of Van Jones, btw.
Apparently she’s talking out of both sides of her mouth now. <> Whatever…..
she will immediately suspend the job-killing, economy-retarding Global Warming Solutions Act, Assembly Bill 32,” according to the O.C. Register.
Really now? She laid of THOUSANDS OF EBAY EMPLOYEES. SHE IS a job killer.
McCain wanted her as Treasury secretary- an internet garage sale intermediator was supposed to run the entire country if McCain had gotten elected? Omg…..!
She’s more of the same old GOP agenda, except that she supports some gay rights ( is SHE gay? she still has her maiden name… so she might be breaking the GOP mold for this particular cause).
She’s got a TON of money to spend on her campaign. She’s not as horrid of a choice as Carly Fiorina, I’ll give you that… but she’s not a whole lot better, either.
“Really now? She laid of THOUSANDS OF EBAY EMPLOYEES. SHE IS a job killer.”
Isn’t that funny Red Vixen? People gave her all kinds of credit for running Ebay, but now they say “I don’t care what Ebayers are sayind about her”
Granted, she wasn’t THAT bad of a CEO, not nearly as horrific as Carly Fiorina, who almost destroyed HP.
I heard Meg Whitman on a San Diego radio show last night. Sounds to me like she only opposes California going it alone in the fight against green house gases. She said she fully supports efforts by the United Staes to reign in carbon emmissions.
So, it sounds to me that she drinks the KoolAid on this issue, but she does not want to drink alone.
Andy,
I don’t think Poizner is electable as Governor. That leaves Campbell, who is a good guy, but who cannot raise money to win in a tough general election.
We KNOW that Brown and Newsom are enviro-whackos. So that leaves Whitman…she will have to do. She is promising to roll back Arnold’s global warming bill. That is a great start!
Whitman is another no substance idiot who thinks being the CEO of a website where people can sell their crappy stuff qualifies her to lead California.
She really loves to pop off about issues she knows nothing about.
Maybe she should try voting for starters and shut up.
