eBay CEO sells Romney in Cincy
Former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney has his share of well-heeled friends in Cincinnati, but his campaign is importing one next week.
Meg Whitman, the CEO of online auction house eBay, is the headliner at a Romney fundraising event on Tuesday, May 8, at the Queen City Club. The event is being hosted by S. Craig Lindner, Romney's Ohio campaign finance chairman.
Whitman - whose estimated net worth is about $1.5 billion - is heading up Romney's California fundraising effort, which is one reason why Romney has been the most successful GOP candidate for president in raising money so far. Whitman has a long history with the former Massachusetts governor - they were both executives at the investment firm of Bain & Company in the 1980s.
The price of admission for the Queen City Club event is relatively low - $500 buys a seat at a roundtable discussion with Whitman that begins at 5 p.m.; $250 buys a ticket to the general reception that begins at 5:30 p.m.

Post a Comment*Ms. Whitman better get busy. I just checked eBay, and flip-flopping politicans are going for $.99 Buy It Now, with no takers. Maybe re-listing at $.49 would help?
