Yay!

I was hoping she would win.  Not really paying any attention to Commiefornia, but saw a story about her and the other woman running this afternoon.

Is she a conservative or a "california republican" like the current idiot?

She's the founder of Ebay if I recall.... so not sure?  But definitely sounds like an evil capitalist to me.

Edited because I forgot the word "of"... lol

She has in the past associated with many politicians, but in the context of being the CEO of Ebay.

She is probably more Libertarian than republican, though, especially with regard to laissez-faire economic policies. And, frankly, I'd MUCH RATHER have ANYONE who has been responsible for generating a profit and signing payrolls than those who have NOT had such experience.

Some conservatives won't like some of her social policies, and she does seem to play the bandwagon Immigration issue. (Have you noticed how that issue is not terribly important nowadays? just a side note). But Arnold, Davis, and Brown has never signed a payroll or had to show responsibility for generating a profit in the private sector. By that measure, Meg is up there.

She makes Arnold look like a right-wing hardliner.

So she's about as conservative as Scott Brown?  :rotf:

Trading bad for not-quite-as-bad is NOT a vicotry.

True, but I'd have to see some video of her speeches, etc. Right now, I'd rather see Brett Favre in her place, and I can't stand him anymore.

If you are looking for a social conservative to win the Governor's race in a blue state like CA, you are going to be waiting a long time.

free speech is now a social conservative position? iCarly likes government regulation on speech. She also like Jesse Jackson and enjoyed getting shaken down by the Rainbow Coalition when she ran HP.

That still does not change the accuracy of my post. I do think she would be an improvement over Boxer. BTW, Jackson and greaseball Al have shaken down a bunch of large corporations.

If she beats Boxer, the Repub whip can keep her in the fold since she bends so willingly.
