* At post time, Gavin Newsom leads Janice Hahn 53% to 34% for Lt. Governor. Both are bad on immigration, he as mayor of San Francisco, she as a Los Angeles City Council member who recently voted to boycott Arizona over their new immigration law. However, she's even dumber than he is and would be easier to beat. The last would matter, if not for the fact that on the Republican...
... Even worse than the other two, Gavin Newsom has thrown his hat into the ring. The only good thing that can be said about him is that he isn't as strong a supporter of illegal immigration as some of those on the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, but that's not saying much.
[1] Per this, he opposed the 2006 decision by some of his colleagues to support the "Great American Boycott", an...
California gubanatorial candidate Gavin Newsom will be conducting a live webchat at noon Pacific on Wednesday, October 28 (link).
The webchat is about "green" issues (including Newsom's push for "mandatory composting"), but that doesn't mean you can't submit questions about this in order to send Newsom a message.
Apparently the questions he'll be asked will be pre-approved, but you can also...
... contents. He speculates that Gavin Newsom (a strong illegal immigration supporter) and the GOP might use the excerpts against Brown. For instance, consider this shocking bit:
[Brown] said U.S. Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer, both Democrats, had "sold out" U.S. truck drivers by letting their Mexican counterparts drive uninspected vehicles into the United States.

The policy, ordered by Mayor Gavin Newsom last summer, requires the police to contact Immigration and Customs Enforcement whenever they arrest a juvenile on felony charges who they suspect is in the United States illegally. Since the policy took effect last summer, more than 100 undocumented minors have been turned over to federal immigration authorities.
Mr. Newsom has said the...
San Francisco mayor Gavin Newsom has announced his candidacy for governor of California. Video is here, his site is at gavinnewsom.com, and someone who is probably a sockpuppet is already spreading the good cheer at politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0409/Newsom_announces.html ("...He has already implemented Ideas for healthcare in Sf that have cut costs...")
The CA GOP should let out a loud cheer about...
Apparently the thought of "Governor Gavin Newsom" is as scary to the San Francisco Chronicle as it is to the rest of us, because they've actually done some real reporting on Frisco's sanctuary policy and their habit of supporting illegal immigration.
First up is "Illegal immigrant arrested 5 times before feds told", about a 26-year-old crack dealer's trips through the revolving door (link).

... staff of San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and City Treasurer Jose Cisneros with the initial concept. The Treasurer’s Office convened a working group of the staff of the Mayor and Treasurer, the Mayors Office of Community Development, New America Foundation, and EARN, a citywide nonprofit that helps low-income residents build assets. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco joined the group soon...

...Mayor Gavin Newsom has been resolute in defending San Francisco's sanctuary status, and on Thursday his spokesman said Newsom supports Ammiano's idea for a card, which could be used for libraries, golf courses, public transportation and other services.
Once again, I urge the MSM not to follow the money.

... here's a picture of Frisco mayor Gavin Newsom wearing one of their "Legalize the Irish" t-shirts. That link includes audio (cached) of ILIR vice chair Ciaran Staunton joking about working under a fake SSN:
Someone told you, you wouldn't get a job without a Social Security number. You made one up. You got your job.
Maybe we should take that recording to campaign appearances by Clinton or McCain...
