Ms. Whitman is a stunning leader, and reat for HP. will be g
A friend of mine posted something today on facebook that I thought was interesting:
Silicon Valley fails on CEO optimization algorithms this past year. Carol Bartz should have gone to HP and Meg Whitman should have gone to Yahoo
This is an interesting take: Ms. Bartz has a great deal of Hardware and Systems experience (DEC, Sun, AutoDesk) and clearly Ms. Whitman has the Internet expertise from eBay.

If Meg does make a success, this area is famous for being friends of the successful on the right. An idea is to invest heavily in companies which deal in products for chapped lips and wholesale tuna for all those elegant parties you will be welcoming her back with.

I do believe that POGO did NOT get the point. Those OTHER areas are NOT in this richest COUNTY in the COUNTRY.
WAKE UP and stop defending the indefensible who are still being investigated, while fellow Republican IS doing the giving of millions for learning institutions, which is not the case of most of her detractors or,most of you.
The loss of Perry to Cain should be a much bigger problem to your way of focussing on Meg. That is why she is commendable.She does good while she ignores most unworthy criticism.
