You mean... will she almost win the election with 5,032,027 votes before getting into a last minute bidding war and narrowly loosing by 1 vote with just 2 seconds to go?

Or when you donate to her campaign will you get a message that the "reserve is not yet met"?

Something like that?

But in all seriousness, she seems like a valid pick.

Its not unusual at all for business executives with no prior political experience to run for governor.

Someone is just going to snipe the seat at the last second and steal the auction away from her. Damn auction snipers.

No funnier than the mayor of SF Gavin Newsom or Ex-gov Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown wanting to run. All-in-all it will be an interesting election!!!!

Now where is that thread on "Wanting to leave California"?.............hummmmmmm????
