SACRAMENTO — Jerry Brown's eligibility to serve as attorney general is being called into question by two Republican Party officials who plan to file a lawsuit today seeking to disqualify the Oakland mayor for the office.

If successful, the move could pave the way for Republican challenger Chuck Poochigian of Fresno, who has been trailing Brown in the polls.

... Brown spokesman Ace Smith called the suit a "desperate frivolous act of a failing campaign." Brown has "been admitted to practice for nearly a half century," he said.

Poochigian's campaign is not a plaintiff but supports the case, said spokesman Seth Unger.

1. Well, jeez... it's not like Dubya is qualified to be prez, or Don Rumsfeld

to be Secretary of Defense, or Condi to be... etc.

7. A young Carl Rove cutting his teeth?

2. That is a load of nonsense

But, then Jerry was foolish to go inactive and create even the suggestion of a doubt about his status.

3. Is there a statutory list of qualifications that must be met

like residency, being admitted to practice law in the state, or whatever?

4. The Repubs will do anything to steal Cali's electoral votes.

This couldn't possibly be upheld, imho.

qualifications. He's the Dem. I WON'T EVER vote Republican again as long as I live.
