I heard Jane was on cnn saying it wasn't a smart move.

I'm sure Gov Brown knows what the sanders' think of him and couldn't care less.

ETA to change what was reported about jane sanders... she was Dissing Gov Brown.. and it was said that wasn't a "smart move" because he's @ 77%.

I guess not!

Jerry Brown's Tough-Love California Miracle





The 75-year-old governor rescued the Golden State from financial ruin - and is reshaping a national progressive agenda
By Tim Dickinson August 29, 2013

snip//

Just two years ago, the idea that California could be a global model for anything was laughable. When Brown took office, the state was staggered by double-digit unemployment, a $26 billion deficit and an accumulated "wall of debt" topping $35 billion. California was a punch line for Republican politicos – a cautionary tale, they said, of the fate that awaits the nation should it embrace Left Coast-style economic, social and environmental liberalism. On the campaign trail in 2012, Mitt Romney joked that "America is going to become like Greece, or like Spain, or Italy, or like?.?.?.?California'

But in astonishingly short order, America's shrewdest elder statesmen blazed a best-worst way out of California's economic morass. With a stiff cocktail of budget cuts and hard-won new taxes, Brown has not only zeroed out the deficit, he's also begun paying down the debt. "Jerry Brown's leadership is a rebuttal to the failed policies of Republicans in Washington," says Neera Tanden, president of the Center for American Progress. "California is proving you can have sane tax systems, raise revenues, eliminate structural deficits and have economic growth."

Fed up with the state's own obstructionist Republicans, California voters have even given Brown a Democratic supermajority in the state legislature. As a result, the Golden State is now reasserting itself as a proving ground for the kind of bold ideas that Republicans have roadblocked in Washington – including a cap-and-trade carbon market, high-speed rail and education-funding reform.

I just don't get all the Dem bashing that goes on here. Why are they even here when it is apparent many on this board hate Dems. Boggles my mind.

And his stance on fracking, Jerry Brown has done more good for California than any governor in recent history. So, I'm giving him a pass on the endorsement. Not on the fracking, though.
