Is anybody surprised anymore by what Jerry Brown does? Of course he’s running for Governor – he wants to be President – he ran three times in 1976, 1980, and 1992! From the LA Times:
It was 1974 when Jerry Brown ran for governor as a dashing 36-year-old reformer, the embodiment of change in Watergate’s aftermath.
“I was the new spirit,” Brown recalled. “That was my slogan.”
No one would mistake Brown for a new spirit today. At 70, he occupies a prime spot among the elders of California politics. His career has spanned four decades, with three failed tries for the White House along his way up, down and back up the elective ranks.
