Political reporters have delighted in covering Jerry Brown's political campaigns through the years.

The reason for reportorial delight is that they do not have to strain for a story.  Brown supplies interesting copy by just listening to him and reporting what he has to say.

Brown, who launched a political comeback in California by initially becoming mayor of Oakland, then the state's attorney general, last week achieved the Democratic Party nomination for governor.

George Skelton, a political reporter for the Los Angeles Times, did a piece on Brown.  He mentioned that Brown has been quiet as of late, especially for him.  Skelton speculated that the reason could relate to Brown not wanting to provide a target for the opposition.
