From SFGate:
And it could start at the top, some argue, with the 2010 campaign for governor.
National conservative columnist George Will penned a gushing piece to that effect after he got a rare, close-up look at billionaire former eBay CEO Meg Whitman and her well-funded campaign to become the next Republican governor. “Although California is a blue state, it has had Republican governors for 30 of the last 43 years,” he wrote. “The Republican revival nationally might begin here next year.”
Fox News pundit Fred Barnes, the executive editor of the Weekly Standard, has also gone gaga over Whitman, turning California into a potential stepping stone for the GOP’s comeback.
