Last Friday I penned a column here on the FlashReport that focused on former eBay Chairman Meg Whitman, and the aggressive role that she is playing as a National Co-Chairman of the McCain for President Campaign. In that piece, I mentioned that Whitman is in the process of looking at a run for the Republican nomination for Governor in 2010.
Well, in a very clear sign that even though this year’s Presidential contest has yet to be resolved, many are already looking to 2010, since publishing my piece on Whitman, I have been literally barraged with e-mails from FR readers all around California letting me know that Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner has been out to their local community. In many instances, there have been glowing words of praise for Poizner as a candidate for Governor along with those e-mails.
After getting a slew of these “Steve was here/testimonial” e-mails, I thought I would reach out directly to “Team Poizner” to see exactly what Poizner, who has already announced the opening of an Exploratory Committee for Governor, has been up to. (Actually, the news of Poizner’s announcement first appeared on this website.).
