Last night Ms Brown - who won the primary with 48 per cent of the vote - was gearing up for a battle against the Republican Governor, Pete Wilson, who took his party's nomination by a large margin. She seeks to follow her brother, Jerry, and father, Pat, - both two-term governors of the Golden State. The contest looks close, as the fortunes of Mr Wilson - once California's most unpopular governor - have rallied, partly because he wants laws denying health, education and welfare services to illegal immigrants.
