Word on the street is, to disport himself between presidential elections, Former Massachusetts Governor Willard Mitt Romney is heavily backing the Gubernatorial candidacy of Ebay CEO Meg Whitman out in California.
There are a lot of reasons for Romney to do this, the main one being, he has nothing else to do til 2012 except keep that touch of grey at his temples and fundraise. Backing fellow CEO Whitman does cloud the Former Viceroy's lamentable rep as a political misogynist and in that context can be seen as a subtle first step in a nasty full court press against Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.
If I were Meg Whitman though, I'd keep Romney away at the length of a ten foot pole if need be, the women who are supported by him in elections seem to come to the same end as the women that run against him. If you don't believe Humble Elias, just ask Scary Kerry Healey, Jane "Jingle Money" Swift or Shannon O'Brien.
Of course, my question is, does anyone out there in La-La Land really want another CEO as governor? Wasn't that Schwarzenegger's whole trope during the recall coup in 2003?
How did that work out for everyone in California?
Moreover...Ebay does a land office business in pornography, sex toys, DVDs books, magazines and other perverse items...if Whitman was a democrat that aspect of her tenure at Ebay would be all over the newspapers and conservative punditariat would be screaming like stuck pigs.
So far though, nothing...so the old hypocrisy still persists I guess and the California GOP will blithely accept the candidacy of a former CEO who made her a good chunk of fortune off of kinky sex manuals.
