Who becomes governor? I say Newsom, but a lot of fractured primary vote could go to Villaraigosa.
I think California is on firmer footing with Newsom.

This San Franciscan will go with Newsom, with reservations. He seems to be able to grow politically.

lotsa baggage with V from his LA days. Newsom could make it on national scene I think...

He is a fake, photo-op, anti-union narcissist.
How ya doing?
Ive not developed a preference yet, either gentlemen would do far better then an R.
I am still alive LOL
Either of them would be better than a repub - absolutely!

His Golden Boy image has always been tarnished in my eyes; I'm not all the way on board, but I'll vote for him.
For now, my support and contributions are going to Amanda Renteria.

they both had the personal issues so none of that has anything to do with my decision.
