Jan 2013

so it's media he wants(ego?), or to serve the party or the people?

better to win a house seat and make it easier to win the house in general to get what one wants passed.

that's why I love Jerry Brown.
He became Mayor of Oakland, became ag, became a few other jobs in between and wasn't in it to do anything but serve the public, of which he has done about the best possible job of anyone.

it's getting things done that is important, not the ego trip.

imho
(and I hope Jerry runs for reelection, and secretly would love Jerry to be Hillary's VP, but I doubt that is on the table)
