Meg Whitman, the former president and CEO of online giant eBay Inc., today dipped her toe into the water of state politics by announcing that she is exploring whether to make bid for the Republican nomination for governor of California. The creation of the exploratory committee is the first step in seeking a run for the post.
Whitman, 52, has been testing her political chops since retiring after a 10-tear stint atop eBay. She moved on to become co-chair of Sen. John McCain's unsuccessful presidential campaign. During a debate, McCain had said he was considering Whitman for the treasury secretary post if he won the election.
Dan Olds, principal analyst with the Gabriel Consulting Group, said Whitman's experience in Silicon Valley would make her an interesting candidate for California's governor.
