The economy will likely rebound by 2014, and Brown and Quinn could benefit from that.
Unless California's economy turns into Zimbabwe's economy between now & then, Brown will easily win re-election.
Assuming he wants to - he'll be 76 and have served for a total of three terms. Speaking of retreads, I wonder if Kitzhaber and especially Branstad will be unusually inclined to retire in 2014, though each is a relatively youthful 63.
True, he might decline to run for re-election. If he does run, though, I have no doubt that he will be re-elected, & re-elected easily.
