Meg Whitman Gears Up for 2010 California Governor RacePosted by Flap in California Election 2010, John McCain, Meg Whitman, Mitt Romney, Pete Wilson, Steve Poizner, Tony Strickland
Looks like former e-Bay CEO Meg Whitman is finally announcing a run for California Governor.
The race will be an expensive one in the June GOP primary election between Whitman and California Insurance Commissioner and fellow billionaire Steve Poizner. Whitman has an impressive list of Republican endorsers including former California Governor and U.S. Senator Pete Wilson, former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney and Senator John McCain. Other California co-chairs of her campaign include:
What is interesting is that Whitman boasts conservative and moderate pro-choice Republican supporters. Whitman wil be criticzed having just registered as a Republican in 2007 and having missed some chances to vote in recent elections. But, unlike, Caroline Kennedy, Meg’s Whitman’s REAL success in business should trump these negatives. Here is Whitman’s introductory video: Technorati Tags: Meg Whitman Tags: Meg Whitman

Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. talks with Central Intelligence Agency Director nominee Leon Panetta on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday, Feb. 6, 2009, prior to the start of Panetta’s nomination hearing before the committee. Feinstein initally voiced concerns over Panetta’s appointment. This is not too much of a surprise. In a previous poll, it is apparent that California voters like Feinstein and prefer her over the rest of the Democrat field.
The poll results:
But will the DiFi run for Governor? She is 75 years old and is the new Chairwoman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Jerry Brown is definitely running but can Feinstein who has always coveted the Governorship ignore these poll results? Stay tuned……. Technorati Tags: Dianne Feinstein Tags: Dianne Feinstein

Video: California Senator Dianne Feinstein Hedges on Run for California GovernorPosted by Flap in California Election 2010, Dianne Feinstein, Jerry BrownVisit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy California U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein on MSNBC’s Hardball. Run the video ahead to the 8:00 mark for her comments on the California Governorship
Bad news for California Attorney General Jerry Brown as Dianne Feinstein continues to flirt with a run for California Governor to replace term-limited out Arnold Schwarzenegger. Brown all but announced his candidacy for the race earlier this week and has raised over $3 million. But, Jerry Brown is worried about a Feinstein candidacy. In any event, Brown will just have to wait for Feinstein to finally decide.
Senator Feinstein freezes out other candidates like San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa with these comments. It will be difficult for them to fundraise for a Governor race will Feinstein lingers about. Jerry Brown is a definite go and a Feinstein-Brown Democrat Primary race in June 2010 will be a battle of the Titans – one which Feinstein has the advantage. See the latest poll:
