Poll Finds Gavin Newsom trailing Jerry Brown-Even in SF (2009, live)

[18Montclair]

Yikes.

Poll finds Newsom trailing Brown even in S.F.

[Curmudgeon]

Perhaps the single brain cell CA voters seem to have shared for several decades now is finally beginning to divide and multiply. But I'm not getting my hopes up!

Newsome is a slime-bag. He has no business being a dog catcher let alone Governor.

What makes him any different than all other politicians, they are all sleazy and corrupt. The ones you think are not, just haven't been caught yet.

This is excellent news.

If it were to be a Dem, Brown is the only good one this go around.

Take Newsom out and the remaining 4 viable candidates are all acceptable.

So to all you Dems, vote for Brown.

To GOPers, essentially a coin flip (anyone got a 3 way coin? - LOL!), it's a win-win-win scenario. No matter who wins the GOP primary, it's all good.

I thought that too at one point, as with anybody else their private lives are probably filled with Mistresses, drugs and prostitutes. Nothing wrong with that , but don't be hypocrites and pretend to look down on others for doing drugs and using escorts, when you do the same.

I agree with the private lives and being hypocrites, but I also have personally known some politicians, both at the state and federal level, they are not all as bad as you make them out to be.

I personally think there's plenty wrong with doing drugs and using prostitutes.

No.

Newsome is different & dangerous. Remember the way he just ignored the law and the state constitution and legalized Gay marriage in San Fran because he wanted to? Mayors, governors, etc, should not go around changing laws at their whim and ignoring the constitution. Agree or disagree about the specific issue, that is dangerous.

All the sleeping around stuff aside, that one act shows he has no business holding office in this state or country, in any capacity.
