Seriously? Californians can’t be THIS stupid. Jerry Brown RUINED California…in every possible way. EVERY political office he holds is a joke. He’s a complete and utter idiot. I’m not happy about Whitman…but I REFUSE to vote for this jerk. I have lived here all my life (and I love DK) and seriously, CA…wake up. This is NOT a good idea nor candidate. He’s not even running ads on what his platform is or his plans….typically Jerry.

[...] coast easily to victory because of the total meltdown in the Republican governor’s race. And as I’ve written here before, being governor of any state is going to be a whole lot of no-fun for at least the next four [...]

I’m way late to the party here, but I want to put in a plug for the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy’s updated (now nearly 20-year-old) version of CUA:

Evidently all of you so happy that Jerry Brown is running for Ca Gov again did not live through his last Gov in CA. He was a terrible Gov, ignorned what the people voted on, actually said he didn’t care what we the people wanted; just kept doing his own thing. Just kept raising every price he could. I pray he is not re-elected!!

Sheesh, if Whitman is shouting “Brown was always a failure” all he’s got to do is say, “Shows you how much she knows. About what you’d expect from somebody who couldn’t bother to vote.”

The world is nuts. I think that’s going to be my sig.

Actually no, and I'm certainly in no danger of voting for her. But I'd love to be able to argue that Brown will be better for the state, either on the basis of past performance or declared intentions. As governor, I believe he had some environmental successes, but he's better known for cultural-gestural acts -- like choosing Don Bachardy to paint his official portrait, which I like but don't weigh heavily against e.g. our broken budgeting rules. I don't see a platform on his campaign website.

Vance: you’ve clearly been watching that Meg Whitman ad that’s being played over and over and over and over

Touché, Historiann. But those 40 years of experience can also be read as 40 years of failure to deliver. “All of old. Nothing else ever. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better.”
