There seems to be a new mantra that says, “Republicans are making a mistake in supporting wealthy candidates like Meg Whitman in the gubernatorial primary race; she is just too wealthy to be supported as a candidate.”

How can we vote for a woman who has, and spends, so much of her own money?

“The costly airtime – with the primary election still seven months away – is just one way the former eBay chief is spending the $19 million of her personal fortune that she has plowed into the race.”

“The first-time candidate, a Republican, has also paid for an army of advisers, pricey plane rides and a big technology tab. She spent $6 million in the first half of the year.”

Is Meg Whitman too rich, and spending too much of her own money to earn Republican support? Read: "Meg Whitman too Rich for Republicans?"
