Last night on Larry King live…..Attorney General Jerry Brown formallly declared his candidacy for Governor of California. Jerry looked good. Tan, rested and ready to be sure. “His glibness” was vintage “JB Jr.”
You can’t help but like Jerry Brown. He is totally likeable! He is running on the Non-Partisan, Used to be Democrat, Willing to Cross the Aisle, Making new news by choosing the best course in spite of Partisan rancor! Yes, Downtown Jerry Brown has officially thrown his hat into the ring and it looks pretty clear that he will have No Major Democratic Challenger in the Primary. He told Larry in response to that question: “Well, there still is a week to go!” With his tan and botox treatments Jerry is looking 40….not over 70-!
Well, now that Gavin Newsome has grasped the reality of California politics, and the two leading front runners for the Republicans are headed for a course of Mutally Assured Destruction……the small “Downtown Brown” campaign pot of $12 million dollars, pales in comparison to the $150 Million of Meg Whitman and the approximate $75 Million of Steve Poizner – this is going to be “some kind of election”! Gavin and Antonio V are probably ready to throw there support behind right now!
How much Meg Whitman has spent on her one minute “I’m Meg Whitman” political ads/introduction..has to be in the millions already? We especially love those “hit ads against Steve Poizner” – “The real Steve Poizner – Number 29!” for example.
Well, Jerry Brown is a sitting Attorney General of the State of California and he is married and he was the former Governor of California, former Mayor of Oakland and the guy that drove his own car to work! The only thing he didn’t do was reject the perks and salaries attached to those various elected posts. As long as he doesn’t try to bring back Adrianna Gianturco or Rose Bird – we are ready to back him! Will he restore his original Plymouth? He could call it the “Moonbeam Express”! We also want Linda Ronstadt to sing all his campaign songs!
Our guess is that “Downtown Jerry Brown” will win going away. No amount of dirt, corruption or accusations are going to stop “the Going Downtown Express”! Face it, Meg has billions, Steve has millions and Jerry has “Billions and Billions” in face and name recognition dollars. If he gets the right endorsements, this may in fact be the cheapest win (in actual dollars spent) for Governor in recent California History!
In this totally dysfunctional California State Government, we just ask Jesuit Monsignor Brown….to do no harm! For those that think that a moderate Republican can beat Jerry Brown – wake up! For those that think a Conservative Republican can beat Jerry Brown – have another cup of cool-aid….we mean Iced Mean Tea!
