Meg Whitman for Governor?

Apparently so.

Meg Whitman stepped down from the boards of Procter & Gamble Co., eBay Inc. and Dreamworks Animation SKG Inc. effective Dec. 31, her spokesman said.
The move is another signal that Ms. Whitman is seriously considering a run for governor of California, a person familiar with the matter said, adding that an announcement could come in the next four to six weeks.
Ms. Whitman’s spokesman, Henry Gomez, declined to comment on her political ambitions, saying she stepped down “for personal reasons.”
A spokesman for P&G said, “We deeply valued the contribution Meg made to our board over the last five years.” EBay and Dreamworks couldn’t be reached for comment.
