You may have brought yourself up to date by now, but this is NOT Christine Todd Whitman. It's Meg Whitman, former CEO of EBay, who's name is being bandied about as a possible running mate.
I thought she was a dem, but was following the thread and then I guess instead of going back, I hit post. Oh well. Sorry. Think about it, what if we all had the same idea and posted it all at once! :)
