Is she pro-choice? Yes, however I would submit that no person in America better champions the cause of free markets (domestically AND internationally) than the former CEO of eBay, under whose 10-year stewardship grew from a mere $4 million to $8 billion annual revenues (a 2000-fold increase in 10 short years). eBay IS the most pure form of free markets, and has enabled hundreds of thousands, or is it millions? of individuals (including many with physical disabilities) to achieve economic self-sufficiency. Where eBay has entered foreign countries, has opened up entrepreneurial opportunities and economic growth previously unknown to those citizens.

California needs a leader who can rein in the crazies. The crazies are here and are not going away; they need to be lead in the correct direction. Meg is uniquely qualified like no other candidate, in her executive experience of having to chart a course between eBay shareholders, its user community (buyers and sellers), its employees, and last but not least the fatally over-regulated California state government. If anyone understands the peril of excessive government regulation, it is MEG. If anyone can deal strongly with unions, fiscally irresponsible state Congress, the radical lefties, and every other constituent of this great (yes, it is great) state, it is MEG.

Meg is a great American, a great entrepreneur, a great leader — our party NEEDS more people like her, willing to step into the ugly world of politics. She’s not doing it for the power or money; she’s already a billionaire. She’s doing it because she feels called to it, because she is patriotic and understand that in order for our country to be saved, ordinary citizens must STEP UP.

I personally worked at eBay for almost 6 years under Meg’s CEO-ship and I can say unequivocally that in my 20+ years in high tech including stints at multiple marqee companies (Oracle, Cisco, Remedy) eBay was _by far_ the best run company I have EVER worked at. No secret why — it starts at the top.

MEG deserves our full support; she is the only one who is capable of slaying the dragons which threaten to kill the great state of California. As goes California, so goes the nation. Think of what a strong, conservative California would mean for our nation.

I would argue that she is one of the most successful CEOs ever. How much more would Meg be able to accomplish in the political realm, where (particularly in the GOP) we currently suffer from a drought of strong leadership? We need to support her and ensure her governorship run is successful. P.S. Those of you who don’t live in California, wouldn’t you love to stop subsidizing the economic sinkhole? There is only one way to turn that around, and that is to ensure the strongest, most capable candidate wins the job.
