AP source: Ex-eBay CEO to run for Calif. governor

A person with knowledge of the discussions says former eBay Inc. chief executive Meg Whitman plans to run for governor of California.

The person was not authorized to talk publicly and spoke Monday on condition of anonymity. He says the 52-year-old Republican hopes to succeed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in 2011 but is not ready to make a formal announcement.

Henry Gomez, a spokesman for Whitman, says she stepped down from the boards of eBay, Procter & Gamble Co. and DreamWorks SKG last week.

He says it was for "personal reasons and time commitments" but would not elaborate.

Schwarzenegger, also a Republican, is being forced out by term limits.
