[S]everal weeks into the new year… Meg Whitman's statewide TV ad campaign… began devouring the political landscape. The eBay billionaire's campaign for governor has turned into a political phenomenon, the likes of which the Golden State has never seen… Like it or not, the result is indisputable: More than two months before the primary and seven months before the general election, Whitman has grabbed California's attention… In the first 2½ months of this year, the Whitman campaign spent $27.2 million -- more than $4 a second. At that pace, in the time it takes to read this sentence aloud, the campaign will have spent another 50 bucks…. Her face, her voice, her views have become part of the state's zeitgeist and a significant part of the California economy.
I've got a really bad feeling about this…
