Got dirt on Meg Whitman? Share it on a wiki! |
|
http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/03/08/MNR91CBH06.DTLThe hard work of digging up dirt on a political opponent - more politely known as opposition research - has traditionally been done in the dark recesses of a campaign operation.
But analysts say a labor-union-funded independent campaign aimed at billionaire Republican gubernatorial candidate Meg Whitman breaks new ground in how it conducts "oppo research."
Wikimeg.com invites the rest of the world to shake the bushes for information about Whitman and enables their new research assistants to post the results on the Internet, Wikipedia-style. But this self-described "experiment in community research and information gathering" comes with potential risks in how that information is vetted....
"These types of nuggets of information have always been out there about a candidate and discussed," said David Weinberger, a researcher at Harvard University's Berkman Center for Internet and Society. "But this type of site creates a centralized location for them to be collected."http://www.wikimeg.com

2. She is attempting to crown herself Queen of California. I can't stand her or her adverts. |
|
Thank you for this post. I hope people realize what a sham her candidacy is.

3. She took off most of the gun related items off of eBay |

Even reloading components.
She's a little dictator.

7. When I complained to eBay |
|
I got a canned reply stating that what's regulated in California, eBay would follow the same regulations for the rest of the US.

look at the spam already!
"If the unions are ganging up on Meg, Then I am all for Meg
CA_Pension_Reform_Now Today 12:59 pm
I was ambivalent towards the CA governor race…..until I heard that the unions are pouring 40 million into defeating Meg in the Republican primary. If the unions are putting that much money into fighting her they must be scared to death of her….. I can only hope that she can lead the state and reign in the insane pensions that we have given local and state government workers. These plans will bankrupt the state…Best of luck Meg….Now that I know the unions are scared of you……You have my vote !!!!!!"
A**hole!

8. I imagine those'll be removed quickly |

just like when someone hacks a Wikipedia page (my all-tme favorite: for a few glorious minutes, George W. Bush's occupation read "Number One Douche in the United States" :rofl: )
