Is Governor Moonbeam the best democrat alternative in 16??

Drudge has a headline that Jerry Brown is considering running for president.

It got me thinking. If someone put a gun to my head and said you have to vote for one of the democrats I think I would pull the lever for Brown.

Brown has been a Governor and a Mayor. He has a surplus in the California budget--thanks to some tax increase but he cut spending too.

I couldn't believe this was a democrat that said this:

quote:

---

“When he came out here, you got your hands in the dirt, you got some people to work with you,” he says. “Here we’re trying to use government to do those things, and it doesn’t feel quite the same way. Welfare creates dependency and builds the power of the state. If everything is state-centric, it doesn’t fit with the idea that we can do more on our own.”

Reviving California’s economy has required him to embrace big business: “People who do things tend to have a lot of money at the end of the day. It’s not the granola crowd who are going to move mountains.”

Isn't it wild that the democrats have become so radically liberal that Governor Moonbeam is the most moderate, pragmatic name among the leftist names being floated for President?
