CA-GOV: Whitman Blew $178.5 MILLION On Failed Bid
Billionaire dilettante politician and failed California gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman spent an incredible $178.5 million dollars to lose race for California by 13 points to Jerry Brown last year, a report released on Monday revealed. Whitman apparently spent $144 million of her own estimated $1.2 billion fortune to win the Republican primary in June 2010 and lose the general election in November 2010.
There are now rumors that she is thinking of challenging U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein in 2012. That would be interesting, because I refuse to vote for DiFi again for anything so I would have to skip that race.

Not necessarily. A miracle could happen and Diane could decide to retire.
