Jerry Brown, California's Democratic attorney general, announced his candidacy for governor this morning in a video on his website, saying he has the experience and "the knowledge" to put the state on track again. 
 
 Brown, 71, a former two-term governor of California from 1975 to 1983, attempted to contrast himself with his Republican opponents, particularly Meg Whitman, the former EBay chief who has never held office before. 
 
 "Our state is in serious trouble and the next governor must have the preparation, and the knowledge and the know-how to get California working again," he said in the taped video message. "That's what I offer, and that's why I'm declaring my candidacy for governor." 
 
 Brown also sought to use voters' frustration with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who came into office without having been elected before the 2003 recall, to argue against repeating that pattern with Whitman, and to a lesser degree, the other GOP contender, one-term Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner. 
 
 "Some people say that if you've been around the process, you can't handle the job, that we need to go out and find an outsider who knows virtually nothing about state government," Brown said. "Well we tried that, and it doesn't work. We found out that not knowing is not good."

– Jerry Brown entered the race for California governor today, vowing to use his experience as a former two-term governor to "get California working again." Brown, a Democrat and current attorney general, used the unpopularity of Arnold Schwarzenegger to criticize Republican candidate Meg Whitman. Like Schwarzenegger before her, the former eBay CEO is running as an outsider to politics, notes the Los Angeles Times. "Our state is in serious trouble and the next governor must have preparation, and knowledge," Brown, 71, said in a video announcing his candidacy. "That's what I offer. Some people say that if you've been around the process, you can't handle the job, that we need to go out and find an outsider who knows virtually nothing about state government. Well we tried that, and it doesn't work. We found out that not knowing is not good." Check out the video on his official website.
