Jerry Brown turns 70

Attorney General Jerry Brown turns 70 today. And, if his speech to Democrats at the state convention at the end of March is any indication, he may be plotting a return to the governorship.

"I don't do too much these days except sue people,” Brown told the crowd. “But someday maybe I'll get around to doing more than that, and hopefully you'll help."

In an interview later that day with The Bee's Peter Hecht, Brown said of running for governor, "I'm not ruling it out. I'm fully engaged in my work as attorney general. I've got my hands full. ... But that doesn't mean I can't reflect on the future in the late hours after work."

Though Brown served two terms as governor, winning election in 1974 and 1978, that came before the state's term limits, so he's eligible for another go-round.

He’ll be 72 in 2010.
