A new poll showing a huge lead for former Governor Jerry Brown over San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has California politicians buzzing.With Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa declining to enter the California Governor's race it is now less than a year before the June 2010 primary election, the race seems to be pretty set. Dianne Feinstein is not expected to run, and the entry of Jack O'Connell or even Loretta Sanchez is unlikely to upend the Brown versus Newsom dynamic.
I would prefer Newsom over Brown because I want some fresh faces in Sacramento. However, I will gladly vote for Brown if he wins the primary.
ReplyDeleteThis poll is meaningless. No matter who you support, this poll doesn't gauge who will vote for whom. The question as stated, "does _____ have the skills to be governor." Who has the skills. It isn't about who is leading whom.
