At best, as a Governor. I can't see how that would go down well with people.

and not a good one.

Don't run a West Coast Democrat. It would be disaster.

I'm from the West Coast. And Newsome was my mayor in S.F. and currently my Lt. Governor.

from Newsom. Is that the same person you speak of, or someone else? She's divorced from Villency now too.

He has a history as a womanizer, republican voters don't mind that, but Democrstic voters certainly do. We already have national level Democrats that are scandal free and still young.
