San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsome has entered the California Governor’s race, which promises to be a real donneybrook on the Democratic side, with California AG (and former Governor) Jerry Brown, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, and Lt Governor John Garamendi all considering bids. The Republican side has Mitt Romney acolyte Meg Whitman (former Ebay CEO) pledging to pump in a ton of personal money to win this race. From the perspective of a political junkie this race has everything you would want, and will truly feature some hard hitting campaigning before long. We will follow it closely here whether you are interested or not. But if you like politics this race will have it all! Here is Mayor Newsome’s announcement.

Your Honor,
My son worked for him under contract developing software for his city heal care plan.
This guy is the Ayatollah of San Francisco with the nuttiness of that town’s politics, and the morality of Bill Clinton except worse.
The late night boys will have quite a time.
This one should be fun.

I assume that Ed Smolak is an inside joke. But, I assume Mr. Smolak is equating you to Gary Newsome?
Will the Eagle Tribune be carrying stories about your sordid affairs? Who knew?

Jim,
Gary doesn’t think his wife is so hot. He boinked his assistant’s wife.
Nice guy, eh.
