thanks to wiki...
I just read it three times in a row and hummed happily.

"she spent more of her own money on the race than any other political candidate spent on a single election in American history, spending $144 million total of her own fortune and $178.5 million including donors.
Whitman lost to Jerry Brown in the November 2 election."

What is amazing about that race is that the prennial candidate, Brown, WON. Which says a lot about how people feel about the repugs all over the place.

and HP has been floundering for quite a while, long before it got ripped off by Autonomy.

ha! Autonomy did to HP what Merrill Lynch did to Bank of America.
I love it when the sharks eat their own.
