Do ex attorney-general's make the best Governors?

[yortsed snacilbuper]

the attorney general or attorney-general is the main legal advisor to the government, and in some jurisdictions he or she may also have executive responsibility for law enforcement, public prosecutions or even ministerial responsibility for legal affairs generally.

2. Corbett (PA) is our ex-AG

In addition to being a horrible Governor, his actions as AG--deliberately (most think) delaying the investigation of Jerry Sandusky's crimes so the story wouldn't break during the 2010 election--were beyond despicable. And will cost him the election this fall along with everything else he's done to destroy this state.

4. One name Eliot Spitzer

good AG piss poor Governor. One of problems was he never learned to govern, i.e. work with both parties.

5. Jerry Brown is doing okay.

He was Attorney General before he became governor for the second time.
