Oh, another thing: it really makes me smile that Jerry Brown will be the governor of California again. Not just because he’s a Democrat, but also because I just love to see people achieve second acts late in life. Perhaps it’s my fear of death or my fear of getting old, but I really like the fact that a 72-year-old man can look forward to governing the largest state in the country for the next four years. It gives me the warm fuzzies.

I’m just delighted that Meg Whitman was not allowed to continue her pattern of failing upward.
I’m a Jerry Brown fan. I interviewed him the last time he was governor, when he was running for president, and he offered me some trail mix!
Jerry Brown has had many second acts: presidential runs, mayor of Oakland, California attorney general. Looking forward to what is next. It is also a godsend that Meg Whitman lost. It has been awful having to suffer through $160 million dollars worth of campaign ads she put out.
