When Meg Whitman takes the stage tonight at the Republican National Convention, it will mark a whirlwind journey from eBay’s leader to the inner-circle of presidential politics.
She joined John McCain’s campaign in spring and quickly became a key advisor to GOP presidential candidate, who recently called her one of the three wisest people he knows. She found her name moving up lists of possible vice presidential candidates. And she even made Jay Leno’s monologue. The comedian deadpanned last week that Whitman would be a good vice presidential pick: "You know, she’s an expert at selling Americans really old stuff."
Her 10-minute speech during primetime tonight is her biggest opportunity yet to make the leap from CEO to a political force — and if successful, it can boost her own possible run for office.

Candidates highlighted will be part of what will bring us to majority status once again.
I’ll start out with a fairly easy and somewhat obvious ca... more
