Voting's not that important anyway, right?

First if you were a muscular, Austrian actor you were qualified to be governor of California. Now if you are a billionaire CEO who never voted until 2002 you're qualified. Meg Whitman, the republican former chief executive officer of eBay, is running for governor of California.

Proof has been found that Whitman has never registered to vote before 2002. When called out on this, she tried a new approach, claiming she "had been a registered 'decline-to-state' voter since 1998." Then Whitman press secretary Sarah Pompei said "she misspoke, and it was wrong." Shot down.

Not being registered to vote until only seven years ago and now running for a major state office shows lack of interest in politics and where her priorities are. Billionaires such as Whitman have people do things for her such as get you out of speeding tickets and make dinner reservations. However, these "people" can't do everything, such as vote. It is Whitman's responsibility to take the time to learn the facts, pay attention to news and politics, become well-informed, and to do the best job being a governor as possible. Her lack of involvement in politics and voting worries me and other voters.

I'm not interested in having a filthy rich republican governor who has barely ever voted and has no experience dealing with a struggling state.
