perfect..governor moonbeam at the helm again. There is a reason that the three worst-rated states for business are Cali, New York, and Jersey.

Oh my Lord, Yes. By all means, put Jerry back in again. Maybe he can screw up the State Supreme Court, yet again, as well. Schmuck.

Jerry Brown knows how to create and balance a State budget, and especially how to cut out unnecessary and foolish spending. California needs Jerry to heal California.

Actually, I can see both good and bad coming from the return of Jerry Brown as CA governor. He is a great economist and might be the perfect man to bring the CA budget back into a working form. Plus, he is one who actually practices what he preaches. He saved the state a bundle himself by choosing to live in a Sacramento apartment rather than occupy the governor's mansion during his tenure. He's a true fiscal conservative and, all politics aside, that is what CA NEEDS right now. But then when he used his mayoral power in Oakland to force people from their homes using eminent domain, taking people's homes to build higher quality housing to generate a higher tax base for the city, I think he made a HUGE mistake. That was wrong, no matter how you look at it. Will he do the same to other communities in CA if given the gubernatorial power to do so? That's a little scary. Eminent domain should be restricted to making way for roads and bridges, etc, not homes for the rich or private corporation development.

All told...his return could be good or it could be bad. It will be interesting to see how it all pans out in the end. And by the way, I'm a life-long democrat, so my support for him isn't party based. I just recognize the need for a true fiscal conservative in office if the state is ever going to recover from the pit of waste and spending it has become mired in. Something has got to give or implosion is inevitable.

The fact is that if any of these candidates don't have the nuts to cut state spending and eliminate many of the state funded programs, enforce illigal immigration laws, and cut taxes then none of them will be any saving grace for the State of California. What was once referred to the Golden State is now nothing more than Fool's Gold.
