Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown to Run for Re-election

Not really surprising

Gov. Jerry Brown announced Thursday that he has taken out the papers to run for re-election.

In his typically understated fashion, the 75-year-old governor posted the announcement and a photo to his Twitter account.

"If you had asked me 40 years ago--when I first ran for governor--what I would be doing in 2014, I could never have guessed. Nor could anyone else," Brown said in a statement posted on his campaign website. "Yet, by the grace of God and habits of perseverance instilled in me by my family, the Dominican nuns and the Jesuits, I am here and ready to go."

    I doubt he will get any serious opposition.

  2. Harvard   11 years ago

    Criminally stupid this guy.

    1. Sevo   11 years ago

      And as stupid as he is, the GOP has not a single credible opponent.

        Credible.....to whom????

        1. Sevo   11 years ago

          "Credible.....to whom????"
          Certainly no one I've seen; They're spending their time getting worked up about which toilet Johnny pees in.

          1. Jesus H. Christ   11 years ago

            Exactly. The Republican Party has clearly lost the Perception War in CA, which is practically a 1 party state now. Get ready for Illinois on the Pacific.

  3. Paul.   11 years ago

    Landslide inbound.
