EBay's Whitman wins California governor primary SAN FRANCISCO Tue Jun 8, 2010 11:58pm EDTStocks SAN FRANCISCO June 8 (Reuters) - Former eBay Inc (EBAY.O) CEO Meg Whitman, a political novice, has won the Republican nomination for California governor, the Sacramento Bee newspaper, in the state's capital, and television network MSNBC said on Tuesday.

Billionaire Whitman spent some $80 million, mostly her own money, to win the primary against millionaire Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner, promising to focus on creating jobs, cutting government spending and "fixing" education.

Early election results showed her ahead more than two to one over Poizner.

She will face off in November against former Governor Jerry Brown, who scared off all serious opposition in the race for the Democratic nomination. (Reporting by Peter Henderson, editing by Anthony Boadle)

Very good victory speech. I think despite Arnold's massive failure, the GOP remains in control of the Governor's mansion in liberal California. Moonbeam's attempt here is very similiar to the Democrats trotting out the laughable Mondale in Minnesota a few years back.

For approximately 72K, BP Oil bought Owe-bama. And as President, he let them Spill, Baby, Spill! Its documented.

I wouldn't bet on it. Arnold won because he was a "movie star". Up until Maldanado was appointed Lt. Gov., there was exactly one other Republican in state office besides Arnold, and he just lost to Whitman. In a state that's overwhelmingly Democrat, the governorship is Brown's to lose.

We'll see. I think the coming economic implosion in California's state budget, which will require a Federal bailout by the end of this fiscal year, will be the deciding factor.

Not party politics as usual.

Well, that's because of the legislature and the sweetheart deals they've made with the unions regarding their pension plans. Unless there's a wholesale change in it's makeup, that's just going to get worse.

The governor is pretty much just a figurehead as far as the budget is concerned. Whitman can threaten to cut the government payroll, but in reality she can't, just like she can't cut the pension plans. It's all going to boil down to who is more likable, Brown or Whitman.

I understand and am aware of everything you wrote. That didn't matter in the recall, it doesn't matter nationally in regards to Owe-bama (house controls spending as we both know on the national level).

People are scared. They will vote based on that primal fear this November.

Like I said, I'll be here the day after either way.

btw, I appreciate the civility.
