This is literally two days ago's news, but it slipped by me.
Billionaire Republican and California Finance co-chair of Mitt Romney's 2008 Presidential campaign, Rick Caruso, has endorsed Democrat Jerry Brown's bid for Governor of CA.
Considering how close Meg Whitman is to Mitt Romney, it's an interesting development.
LegalNewsLine:
"The economic downturn has had a devastating impact on our state, and as a businessman and a CEO, I understand the value of experience in solving problems," Caruso said. "Our next governor needs to be someone who understands government and how it works, and that is Jerry Brown."
Caruso, the man behind the Southern California mega-retail projects The Grove at Farmers Market and Americana at Brand, is holding a Feb. 2 fundraiser for Brown.
NBC's affiliate in LA also has a story on it, as does Huffington.
