Whitman Sharp and Business Savvy

OK, let's talk about the potential governors while we're at it.

How about Jerry Brown again? He's been making noisese about this for months now.

I hear Gavin Newsome thinks he can make the cut too.

Is John Garimendi throwing his hat in the ring?

The non-political business savvy people with a good sense of management stand the best chance of being sharp enough to manage the disparate interest and in-fighting as well as the chops to be a good manager.

I think she is just centrist enough and a tough business manager to help pull us together.

Meg Whitman took eBay from the big startup to the billion dollar successful corporation it is.

Do you prefer someone who has spent their life in politics? As Arnold says," Someone who has signed the front of checks and not just the back?"
