California Schemin' - The Rise of The Know Nothings

Yesterday, Chris Matthews talked with California Attorney General Jerry Brown about his opponent, Meg Whitman, and the current Governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, as well as the problems the State of California is facing. Brown and Whitman are vying to be California's next Governor, an office Brown has held before. About the 1:50 mark, Matthews asks Brown:

"What is it in the American psyche or character that says, if you don't know anything, you're somehow an average person or average guy and you have horse sense? What is it about people that keep picking people like George W. Bush to be president? And you see these people like Sarah Palin out there with fans. Why would anybody like somebody who the campaign manager for John McCain said, "She doesn`t know anything?" Why is not knowing anything — why does the know-nothing candidate, like Meg Whitman, a person who doesn't have any government experience, have the appeal to be even with you in the polls? The know — the person that doesn`t know anything about government."

It's an interesting interview. Jerry Brown is confident that the voters won't be bamboozled by Meg Whitman's repetitive ads and mailings (she has spent about $100 Million already), that by election day they'll have enough information to pick the best candidate to serve as Governor.

During the interview, Jerry Brown is seated in front of a background picturing U.C. Berkeley's campanile.
