I was surprised when California State Attorney General Jerry Brown's name was being thrown around as a possible candidate for Governor when Ahnauld's term is finished. Term limits were voted into law back in 1990 and the Attorney General had already served two terms as governor (1975 to 1983). Turns out the term limit law doesn't apply here as he served before it went into effect. Personally, I'd love to see Jerry back in Sacramento.The Attorney General has managed to raise over $7 million for a race he hasn't officially declared his candidacy for. Amusingly, San Francisco's absentee mayor and fashion plate Gavin Newsom HAS officially declared himself a candidate, yet has only managed to raise a little over $1 million for his campaign. After seeing what San Francisco has become since he was elected, I can't think of anything worse for California than seeing Gavin serving in Sacramento.
Carla Marinucci, the San Francisco Chronicle's political reporter (and a terrific one at that), has a piece about the suggestion that Gavin run for Lt. Governor.
