<p>Meg&#8217;s campaign <a href="http://www.megwhitman.com/aboutMeg.php" target="_blank" rel="noopener">boasts of her management prowess</a>. But compare this.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how Meg ran eBay: She didn&#8217;t go out and hire retired GM, Ford or GE managers. Instead, she hired young hotshots hungry to create the Internet future.</p>
<p>And here&#8217;s how she&#8217;s run her gubernatorial campaign: <a href="http://www.ibabuzz.com/politics/2009/06/04/meg-whitman-hires-veteran-campaign-staffers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">She&#8217;s hired old Arnold, Pete Wilson, McCain and Bush hacks</a>. Wilson last won in 1994 by being against immigration, an issue Meg <a href="http://www.calwatchdog.com/2010/06/21/meg-flips-left/">has flipped Left on</a>. That year, the Internet hardly existed.</p>
<p>Arnold won only because of the 2003 recall fluke; then, in 2006, he campaigned against tax-increasing Angelides on a no-new-taxes pledge &#8212; a lie, because he broke the pledge in 2009. Bush actually <em>lost</em> the national popular vote in 2000; then barely won in 2004 against the pathetic Kerry. And in 2008, McCain lost California by 3 <em>million</em> votes.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.calwatchdog.com/2010/05/16/establishment-meg/">These people she hired</a> for tens of millions of simoleons aren&#8217;t winners, they&#8217;re burnouts. That&#8217;s why, this far into the campaign, <a href="http://www.contracostatimes.com/news/ci_15624300?source=rss" target="_blank" rel="noopener">she&#8217;s still losing in the polls</a> against an opponent who has spent hardly any money.</p>
<p>She should have hired some pimply, 17-year-old hackers who would have learned the political language as fast as they pick up HTML or C++.</p>
