Silicon Valley Resident (Residents?) for Governor...

At least one Silicon Valley resident will be running for Governor in 2010. Meg Whitman officially announced her intentions today.

This is (obviously) big news in California, but her announcement is also gracing the homepage of nytimes.com...

It is a pretty safe bet that this Atherton resident or this Los Gatos resident won't get national coverage when they officially announce their intentions.

A little inside-the-media tidbit struck Watch Dog as interesting. Compare the image that nytimes.com is using with this news story to the mercurynews.com image. You'd think Whitman's hometown paper would use a more compelling photo...

Since Whitman was a strong supporter of Prop 8, let's hope the Bay Area and Silicon Valley disavow her residency ... and vote for someone else!
