From the San Francisco Chronicle: The pile-on began as the California delegation's breakfast kicked off, with headliner and fellow governor Chris Christie of New Jersey, and later Hewlett Packard CEO Meg Whitman, plowing into Brown - to the delight of the partisan GOP crowd.
"Don't
give up on the fact that California can be governed," Christie told the
adoring crowd. "You've seen it governed before. California once did
have great governors, like Gov. Pete Wilson," a Republican who served two terms from 1991-1999.
But,
Christie said, "We've just given California away to the public sector
unions, to the masters of huge spending and huge government. It doesn't
have to be that way."
Then he got personal toward Brown.
"California
made a bad choice with an old retread," he said of voters' election of
Brown, who had served two terms from 1975 to 1983, to a third term in
2010. "I cannot believe that you people elected Jerry Brown over Meg
Whitman," who lost the race by 13 percentage points and is a California
delegate to the GOP convention in Florida this week.
