Dollar Year

Why would Meg Whitman invest 104 million in her campaign for a 120 thousand dollar a year job?
There has to be something more. I just don’t get it.
I ask that question of all politicians. Look at the money that was spent jut for those that were running for President. Ross Perot spent about $70 million of his own money trying to get a job that only pays $400,000 per year.
Meg is spending $104 million for a job that pays a maximum of $206,000. Even if she were governor for 8 years and never spent another penny she would only recoup 1% of that money.
It has to be about the power and prestige that comes with the job. I really do not see how anyone can care that much about the people.
Perhaps all of these people seek fame, it will either be fame or infamy.
@James,
The other woman you were thinking about is Carly Fiorina, former CEO of HP and is seeking the Senate seat currently held by Barbara Boxer.
