Gordon Getty didn't open up his wallet for Newsom? How's that for friend? They are only business partners in a winery, numerous resorts, restaurants, bars, and night clubs. We are better off without Newsom. What? Gordon Getty didn’t open up his wallet for Newsom? How’s that for friend?

Though I am an independent voter and pretty distanced from our state Dems, you called it well. Jerry is so familiar to us Boomers, he might be able to squeak in on familiarity and nostalgia in this goofy state. But the tapings, and now this ACORN soundbite, I dunno, I think he might be in the wrong year to get elected. As for Newsom, I cannot believe that he can ever get out from extreme Leftist image from his service in SF. I am simultaneously relieved and sad that he dropped out. I didn't think he had a chance. I could just imagine the Republican commercials trotting out that great soundbite, over and over again: "...whether ya like it or not" that tanked Prop. 8. You couldn't find a better way to alienate conservative and rural Californians who think SF is a loony bin. And don't even get me started on Kamala Harris. There'll be a lot of Bologna thrown if she persists in her run. Thanks for your column today (the Education of Gavin Newsom).
