'Being on the right side of history' is nice but a weak consolation.<br /><br />Maybe Newsom declined to run for Governor because its akin to wanting to be Captain of a sinking ship. He's young; maybe he's waiting a few years until CA is not in such dire financial shambles.Mark in DEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478832787656152843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-32136299347097985152010-01-28T14:56:43.033-05:002010-01-28T14:56:43.033-05:00Thanks for this, Bob.

If only I could be surprised that his career came to a shuddering halt because he supported the cause of true equality.Malcolmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16750431202226062206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-43981572595635914522010-01-28T14:32:49.324-05:002010-01-28T14:32:49.324-05:00Hey, I am a fan of Newsom, follow him on Twitter, ...Hey, I am a fan of Newsom, follow him on Twitter, and like much of what he says, but to think his issues have only to do with his support of gay rights give us way more power than we actually have. He has had his own trials and tribulations, including coming from an place most Repubs love to demonize.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09690597078607161109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-10305460796854467742010-01-28T14:28:41.479-05:002010-01-28T14:28:41.479-05:00I believe this.

I wish ...I believe this. Thanks for the posting it.<br />I wish more politicians would take a stand for this issue. There still aren't a lot willing to say gay marriage is ok and they support it.robertga99https://www.blogger.com/profile/03811097230284907726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-76692984405912656442010-01-28T13:48:25.797-05:002010-01-28T13:48:25.797-05:00he's a good guyhe's a good guyWonder Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723949771552274515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19466193.post-84836718439866596902010-01-28T11:49:12.300-05:002010-01-28T11:49:12.300-05:00Gavin Newsom will always be a hero in my book!
