Podcast: GOP-alooza
ST. PAUL -- On this week's edition of the Capital Notes Podcast, a closer look at two California Republicans who were getting attention this week not for what they do now... but for what they might want to do in the future.
Steve Poizner, the state insurance commissioner, and Meg Whitman, former eBay CEO and a top advisor to presidential nominee John McCain, are both being watched for possible forays into the 2010 race for governor.
Both come across as middle-of-the-road pragmatists, which means that politicos think they could have a strong chance to succeed Arnold Schwarzenegger -- a rare feat these days in Democratically strong California.
I sat down with both of them this week at the GOP convention. By the way... back to the state budget fracas, and more, next week.
