Arianna like Hillary Clinton have both rode their husband's coat-tails to achieve their current public recognition. You overlooked much of Huffington's biog: --Huffington's first foray into the Internet was a Web site called Resignation.com, which called for the resignation of President Bill Clinton and was a rallying place for conservatives opposing Clinton. After her college graduation in England, she moved to London and lived with the journalist and broadcaster Bernard Levin. She left Levin in 1980, after he refused to marry her, and she then moved to the United States. She met millionaire Michael Huffington at a 1985 party in San Francisco. The couple were married in 1986. They moved to Washington, D.C., when he was appointed to the Department of Defense. They later established residency in Santa Barbara, California, in order for him to run in 1992 as a Republican for a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives, which he won by a significant margin. He was a political conservative. In 1994 he narrowly lost the race for the U.S. Senate seat from California to incumbent Dianne Feinstein. The couple divorced in 1997, and in 1998 Michael Huffington disclosed his bisexuality. A 1999 magazine article claimed that Arianna Huffington "entered the marriage... with full knowledge of Michael Huffington's sexual interests in men". The financial terms of their divorce agreement remain undisclosed, but Huffington gained much of her wealth from her husband. Arianna Huffington chose to retain her former husband's surname, although she had been known as Arianna Stassinopoulos Huffington during the period of her marriage. She was accused of plagiarism for copying material for her book Maria Callas; the charges were settled out of court. Huffington was an independent candidate to replace California governor Gray Davis in the California recall election, 2003. She dropped out of the race on September 30, 2003 to instead try to get the recall defeated. Others attributed her exit to her inability to garner support for her candidacy, noting that polls showed that only about 2% of likely California voters planned to vote for her at the time of her withdrawal. Her former husband endorsed Arnold Schwarzenegger over her. Her Huffington Post site was a source of controversy when it was revealed that a post identified as the writing of George Clooney had actually not been written by him per se, but had been compiled from statements he had made and opinion pieces he had previously written.
