Democratic gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown channelled his inner Obama on Wednesday night, preaching post-partisanship and unity at a small-dollar fundraiser in San Francisco.
More than 100 young supporters gathered at Orson, a chic bar and restaurant, for an event dubbed “The Brown Bash.” Organizers said it was aimed at attracting younger voters to Brown’s campaign, which had run a bare-bones operation until going up with TV ads last month.

He also delivered on his reputation for salty language. “We’ve been in California a long time and there’s a pioneering spirit, and what we face today is a very screwed up state of politics,” Brown said.
“It’s broken. It's a breakdown. But if we can summon up the spontaneity and the creativity of California, we can transform what is a breakdown into a breakthrough.”
Then Brown launched into a rant that seemed to meld dialogue from the movie “Scarface” with Obama’s best moments on the presidential campaign trail.

“Whether you’re in a car wash or you’re a maid or you’re a billionaire, we gotta all treat everybody as brothers and sisters in California,” he said.
“In that spirit, we’ll make it work.”
With that, he wrapped up his remarks, which clocked in at just over six minutes.
“I know you want to go back to drinking and talking and picking up people,” he said. “Less is more.”

If he wins you can stick a fork in California, for she is done!
Idiotic
Fixed it.
They don’t call him moonbeam for nothing.
