Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jerry Brown ? California Gov. Jerry Brown (D)  delivers  his  final State of the State address in Sacramento on Jan. 25. Democrats who want to replace  him  are aiming even further left in a state already known for its liberal politics. (Pool/Reuters)
Here in the self-labeled âstate of resistance â the political debate is being pushed further left without any sign of a Republican renaissance to serve as a check on spending and social policy ambitions. Even some Republicans are concerned about the departure of Gov. Jerry Brown (D)  who proved to be fiscally cautious after inheriting a state seven years ago in deep recession.
âYou are going to be talking about Democrat-on-Democrat crime  for the most part â said Bill Whalen  a research fellow at Stanford Universityâs Hoover Institution. âWhat also is certain is that the next governor is going to be more progressive than Jerry Brown.â
In his final State of the State address on Jan. 25   Brown  said California is âprospering â a nod to a growing economy that is the sixth-largest in the world.
But in an interview after the speech   Brown  said that âdoes not mean all Californians are prospering â and  he  made a distinction between the coastal âconsulting classâ and rural laborers whose âculture of working with their handsâ is disappearing.
âThe state is more divided â  Brown  said. âAnd itâs divided this way right across the country.â
 Brown  said  he  is uncertain whether  he  will endorse in the race to succeed  him   even though Newsom also is a Bay Area Democrat who  on climate change in particular  supports the governorâs policies. Some of  Brown âs transportation initiatives  including a high-speed rail project from Los Angeles to San Francisco that is bursting its budget  remain in question.
âI donât think the people of Tulare County or Modoc County want to hear from  Jerry Brown  on who to vote for. Maybe the people in Oakland would  I donât know â  Brown  said. âIâll decide what to do based on 45 years of campaigning in this state.â

Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Ben Zobrist ? Ben Zobrist? Kyle Schwarber? Kris Bryant? Anthony Rizzo? The Cubs donât seem worried  as they scored 822 runs last season despite Schwarberâs struggles  eventually dropping him from that spot. Assuming they donât acquire a leadoff specialist  theyâll likely rely on a combination of players seeking to provide the production Dexter Fowler supplied in 2016.
The Cubs had minus-9 defensive runs saved at that position last year. Without a strikeout-heavy rotation  defense takes on a greater role. Schwarber has slimmed down to help his agility. Ian Happ has been prone to taking curious routes to the ball.  Ben Zobrist  isnât fast  but  he âs dependable.
 Zobrist  turns 37 on May 26  and  he  played in only 128 games in 2017 because of wrist and back injuries. Manager Joe Maddon faces the delicate balance of getting  Zobrist  ready without taxing  him . Happ is lined up to receive more playing time to preserve Zobristâs health.

Input: Consider Input: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Clarence Thomas ? Jill Abramsonâs hit piece on  Clarence Thomas  remarkably relies on David Brock and Fred Cooke  although Brock himself rebutted Abramsonâs own work on  Thomas  and has highlighted Cooke as a problematic source. Here are the facts.
Mayer and Abramson have made these accusations on the basis of accounts from sources who tell me they were either flatly misquoted or misrepresented  or refused to confirm information attributed to them. The list of these people who say they were misquoted includes the only woman whose allegations against  Thomas  have not been previously reported â and refuted â in prior books or articles. In addition to relying on fake evidence  doctored quotes  and unsupported hearsay  the book is brimming with anonymous and discreditable sources. Key figures were never interviewed. Where evidence does not fit the authorsâ point  it is ignored entirely. And a whole array of alleged facts â small and large â are simply wrong.
The case that  Thomas  exhibited an interest in pornography after his student days rests on the accounts of two people: Barry Maddox  the proprietor of a Washington  D.C. video rental shop  and Frederick Cooke  a Washington attorney. [A third source  Kaye Savage  who claims to have information linking  Thomas  to Playboy magazine  is discussed later in this review.] Mayer and Abramson write:
âBut the interest in pornography that  Thomas  first exhibited at Yale apparently continued through the early 1980s  when Long Dong Silver was a well-known figure among fans of X-rated movies. According to Barry Maddox  the proprietor of Graffiti  a video rental and equipment store just off Dupont Circle  a few blocks from the EEOCâs headquarters  the store began to rent pornographic videos in 1982. Not long afterward  Maddox recalled   Thomas  became a regular customer.â
There are several problems with this account  including that the EEOCâs headquarters at 18th and L Streets NW  a few blocks south of the Dupont Circle area  did not open until August 1989.  Thomas  worked at that location for only a matter of months  and during the entire time  he  was in the middle of a brutal confirmation fight for a seat on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals  which  he  won in March 1990. In the early 1980s  when Maddox claims  Thomas  was a regular customer  the EEOCâs headquarters were at Columbia Plaza at 24th and E Streets NW â nowhere near Dupont Circle or Graffiti.
âIt was also in Graffiti that Frederick Douglass Cooke  Jr.  a Washington attorney and the former D.C. corporation counsel  saw  Thomas  at the cashierâs counter in the late 1980s with another âfreak-of-natureâ kind of film. Cooke thought it pretty amusing to run into the chairman of the EEOC  whom he had met once or twice on a social basis  standing with a triple X videotape entitled The Adventures of Bad Mama Jama.â
These sentences appear on page 107 of the book  where  though he is not quoted directly  it appears as if Cooke himself has told the authors what he supposedly saw. There is no note indicating otherwise. Not until flipping to a note for page 330  where efforts by  Thomas  opponents to extract damaging information from Cooke are discussed  do we learn  âReached on two separate occasions  Cooke would neither confirm nor deny the account.â[5.]
