She has a solid cadre of center-right political heavyweights, some of whom I know personally, lining up behind her, and she has a capable staff of advisers so that is a good sign too.
I think a smart, female moderate with an R next to her name is probably well positioned to break out of the political fog in 2010 and capture the top political prize in what can only be described as the most dysfunctional state in the union.
I like her E-Bay creds which speaks to her understanding of technology and the internet economy. Hmm...I think we could do a lot worse...
