I can't believe that prick Newsom is leading among you guys.  I mean, seriously.  The guy is just a straight up asshole.  It's because he defied the law in order to grant gays marriage licenses, right?  Sick.

There are so many sh**t-eaters in this primary.  California might be out of luck.  The only person who's almost as bad as Newsom [is that socialist Villaraigosa.  Ugly, stupid name, combined with his ex-wife's.  Geez.

The only electable candidate is Moonbeam, and as far as I know, he is the frontrunner.

Antonio's affair was a lot more hilarious (the reporter he had the affair with had to report the news of the affair before they knew who it was) than Newsom's (sleeping with your best friend's wife).

I'm undecided, but expecting Feinstein to be our next governor. Would like to be wrong on that count though.

If it gets her out of the Senate, I'm fine with that.

     I'd like Feinstein, since she has proven legislative & executive experience, a rarity.

I remember that! That was really amazing.

I would love to see O'Connell run.  He was very popular as a state rep - even going as far as to get both parties noms one year.  Plus with the education crisis and possible backlash against Arnold's open hostility toward school funding that could work to his advantage.

Feinstien would be formidable, but I don't see her leaving the senate.

Westley was my choice last time around and would have potential.

Newsom would be a disaster waiting to happen.   Some of his ill chosen words (plus his gravelly voice) were the cornerstone of the prop-8 campaign.  The put him in just about every pro-8 ad.

I'd like Sanchez...

I think if Westly ran and won, he'd run for president in 2016.
