Those closest to Brown are an assortment of businessmen for whom politics is a practical matter and moderate Democrats who find homey, hard-working Brown the safest choice...
Indeed, the Governor's familiar face and homey presence do not arouse much ardor among the voters. At the Los Angeles County fair in September, as the Governor was trying to galvanize a small audience with the glories of the state park program, hundreds of fairgoers strolled past with hardly a backward look. With a touch of sadness, Pat shouted at them "It's important that you know about this. You put your money in taxes, and this is what we do with it."

The bipartisan House leadership took up a collection for a congressional gift, but Iowa...
