IMO there are a lot of parallels between her campaign and Romney's.

Whitman proved two things:

One, that all the money in the world spent on a campaign will not convince voters to elect an unattractive, unqualified person, and

Two, when wealthy country club type republicans spout language designed to appeal to the religious-wacko-bigot-racist demographic, they sound condescending, insincere and phony. It might fool the dumbasses but it the middle of the road suburban types will recognize and be offended by it.
