Since the primary, the Democrat has compared Meg Whitman's campaign to a Nazi propagandist and referred to Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky. Some strategists worry about long-term damage.
When gubernatorial nominee Jerry Brown blurted out his unfiltered thoughts last week, aiming barbs at a longtime rival and former president whose assistance Brown's campaign had been scurrying to obtain, the reaction from Democrats was dismay, but not surprise.
In four decades in public life, Brown has defined himself as a candidate who eschews talking points and speaks his mind, and occasionally suffers for it when he does. Already, in the three months since the primary, the Democrat has come under fire for comparing Republican rival Meg Whitman's ad blitz to that of a Nazi propagandist and, last week, taking on Bill Clinton.
The question is whether it will happen again, and what effect a pattern of such gaffes could have on Brown's chances of election.
