Must-see photo of Bill Clinton and Jerry Brown

The picture above, taken at the Jerry Brown/Gavin Newsom rally at SJSU Sunday, tells you everything you need to know about Bill Clinton's campaign rallies over the weekend with Jerry Brown.

Embarrassed about supposedly mean things he said about Bill Clinton -- that Clinton lied about his relationship about Monica Lewinsky -- early in the summer, Moonbeam was forced to apologize.  Not because Brown said anything inaccurate, but because Clinton is, for reasons that escape me, popular among Democrats in California.

Clinton accepted the apology and agreed to campaign with Brown and Newsom this past weekend.

The two men embraced in front of the cameras in an awkward hug at San Jose State University.  The embrace is more embarrassing for Brown because it highlights his weakened state among California Democrats.  For Republicans, Brown's embrace of Clinton is a motive to pull the lever for Meg Whitman.

Jerry Brown's toxic campaign stop

Is the Jerry Brown campaign being run by amateurs? 

Looking at pics from a Brown appearance on Thursday, it sure looks like it.

A candidate who speaks in front of cameras should always be aware of the visual being projected.  But look at the toxic visual in the photo below.

Below is the larger photo taken at Thursday's event in San Diego.

In the grand scheme of a campaign that lasts many months, this one goof isn't a big deal.  But still.  Somebody needs to pay attention to the details because little mistakes added together over time become a big deal.  And Jerry Brown -- now trailing Whitman by several points in the latest polls -- has very little room for error.

This is a photo of Jerrry Brown, Debra Bowen and some other California Dem politicians looking weird and clinical at a recent tour of a solar panel company.  The Bee is running a caption contest with this photo, go here to see it.

This photo was taken at the California Democratic Convention this past weekend.  The dude loves to hear himself talk.
