Holy cow! I can hardly pick my chin up from the floor after reading the Tribune’s article regarding gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman, and her “remarkably lavish campaign” spending. From her chartered jets, a political consultant she pays $90,000 a month, buying an entire TV channel at the host hotel during the state convention to “blanket the airwaves with a never-ending stream of advertising,” to spending thus far more than $81 million ($71 million from her “personal” fortune) to land the top-spot in our state capital that pays a meager (well, it would be for her) annual salary of $212,179.

If she can so freely and nonchalantly spend her own money can we just imagine what she’d do with ours? She may be a Republican but it appears she’s anything but conservative. Sounds like a bit of deja vu don’t you think? Something smells mighty stinky here.

Come on, Californians, let’s all wake up and stop this crazy nonsense. Thoroughly research all candidates then let your voices be heard loud and clear on election day.

Remember, they’re employed by us — we chose whom to hire or not.
