Meg Whitman Shatters Spending Records

The latest polls show that, without a day of political experience, former eBay chief executive Meg Whitman has built an enormous lead over fellow Republican Steve Poizner , and a small one over veteran Democrat Jerry Brown .  What is it costing her?  Today's Los Angeles Times says $358,500 a day .  That's $15,000 an hour or $249 a minute.
