Gov. Jerry Brown won't be running for president. Don't be silly. He has already run the course. And now he's a geezer.
Anyway, his chief advisor, wife Anne Gust Brown, would kill him.
So it's not worth asking about.
But that's too bad, in a way. Because, age aside, he never has been in better position to run.
Brown has a record he can crow about as governor of the most populous, most diverse state, with the world's eighth-largest economy. He has steered the state budget from a crippling deficit to a healthy surplus. He's still a Washington outsider.
