Even Jerry Brown's opponent wants him to win.

This political add is the single best advertisement in my opinion. I think it's very effective for many reasons. First of all, it shows Meg Whitman (Jerry Brown's opponent) addmitting that Jerry Brown himself made a great governer for the state of California. Not only does Meg Whitman point out how good of a job Jerry Brown did 30 years ago but she said that "Anything was possible back then" and acted as if California was in it's best shape ever...under the control of Jerry Brown. Another reason why I think this ad is so great is because Jerry Brown doesn't go out of his way to put Meg down or bring him up. When political candidates advertise by putting their opponent down, it makes them look desperate for votes in my opinion where as Jerry Brown simply stated a fact and let Meg do the rest. When Meg Whitman said that on live television she was pretty much digging her own grave.
