Whitman spent $144 million of her own money campaigning.

She is the type of person that feels $144 million in TV Ads is enough to buy public support rather than $100 million in charity and non profit work to build an image. I don't imagine her leadership of HP to be any different.

I expect her attitude to be "We can buy customers" rather than "We can earn respect and attract customers."
