More than three decades ago, Jerry Brown [Gov. Moonbeam] was widely regarded as a kook, but here he is, at the age of 72, a decent bet to become governor of California again, despite the $120 million-plus of her own money that his opponent, former eBay boss Meg Whitman, has invested in the race.

Brown has always been one of the more interesting figures in American politics.

It's by no means a certainty that Brown [Governor Moonbeam] will win, but if he does, it will surely be his final stint in public office, unless he's brooding on a challenge to Obama's renomination in 2012.

So Christine O'Donnell should take heart. There is a comeback from kooksville, though the exact escape route for O'Donnell is pretty hard to figure right now. On the Brown model, O'Donnell should have become a senator first, and only then dabbled in witchcraft.

Would Brown become the Revenge of the Hippies? Green Gulch Zen Center, Linda Ronstadt, "Urban Warrior" maybe it's an extreme we can be comfortable with.

How is it that that old "trickle down" guy built a mansion? Who paid for that?
