Posts Tagged ‘Meg Whitman’

Do you remember the 70′s cigarette commercial with the jingle “You’ve come a long way, baby?”  It was a lame attempt to market tobacco to modern independent women.   Didn’t think much of the slogan then, but the jingle lived on long after the marketing campaign.

I was reminded of the catchy phrase when I saw the headlines about all the women around the country who won elections on Tuesday.  The one standout for me was Meg Whitman.  Politics aside, it was amazing that she spent close to $100 million bucks of her own money during the campaign.  Now that’s coming a long way baby!!!  Not sure it’s all that good for the democratic process.  But I do think it’s great that a woman was a tremendous corporate success and has the resources to go for something else she believes in. Regardless what the people of California decide, Meg Whitman deserves credit for smashing another glass ceiling!
