It looks as if Jerry Brown will run for the California Governor's job, a job he won twice, in 1974 and 1978, and became California's youngest governor of the 20th century. Some, including myself, think that if he had gotten into the 1976 Presidential race earlier, he may have been elected President.
California under the Terminator Governor, Arnold the Schwarzenegger, is down on one knee and may stay down for the count, if she doesn't find a champion. Jerry Brown, in an interview with the Washington Post, is signaling that he is ready to be that champion. Quote Mr. Brown, "I know how state government works, how it should work, and I think I can fix it" (News Source: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/02/09/AR201002...)
California won't have to travel back in time to pluck Jerry Brown from the 70s. He is the current California attorney general, serving in that office since 2007, and he was a successful mayor of Oakland (1998-2006).
His likely opponent in the general election will be Meg Whitman, the Ebay ex-CEO, who has no government experience. Her hopes are that in a time of crisis, California will turn to another political novice, to a second amateur.
