Mike Murphy: We got beat

"We got beat. And, you know, I ran the campaign. I take responsibility for it."

Mike Murphy, was the chief strategist for Meg Whitman's race to governor in California. She lost although she had privately invested 141 million dollars for her campaign. Murphy, who was paid $90,000 a month by Whitman for his strategic advice, said, the voters rejected "CEO candidates who were doing kind of a tough-medicine message."
