Gavin Newsom announces he'll run for California governor in 2018
Mercury News ^ | 02/11/2015 | Josh Richman

California Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom is opening a campaign committee to run for governor in 2018, becoming the first candidate to enter the race, he announced Wednesday.

"I've never been a fan of pretense or procrastination. After all, our state is defined by its independent, outspoken spirit. When Californians see something we truly believe in, we say so and act accordingly -- without evasiveness or equivocation," Newsom wrote in a Facebook post. "So today I'm announcing that I'm creating a committee to run for California Governor in 2018. Because I truly and passionately believe in the future of this great state."

Newsom praised Gov. Jerry Brown's "remarkable leadership," but said the Golden State's "long-term challenges remain daunting -- we must continue to grow our economy and create private-sector jobs, we must invest in public education and keep college affordable, we must address the widening inequalities that separate our communities and we must maintain California's historic leadership in meeting the climate challenge."

Wonderful.

A Hollywood action hero, an ossified lefty hippy - now a cuckolding bimbo underwear model. Why not?

The annointed adulterer pops up.

Who knew.

All he has to do is grovel to the appropriate deviant groups and all sins will be absolved.

Kim Guilfoyle should run for California Attorney General as a Republican to make him squirm.

Gavin Newsome was Mayor of SF and was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle. Perhaps a disqualification for Newsome was he cheated on the gorgeous Kimberly with the wife of a staffer.

Guarantee Newsom will win...and be the Democrats’ leading Presidential candidate by 2024 if not sooner. He’s the exact shot of youthful, good-looking, white male-ism they desperately need, and he’s as politically correct as they come.

Not just any staffer. His campaign manager.

And she's no ordinary office girl!

Looking for someone to the Left of him...

Well no, they're looking for someone who isn't even an American...since they hate America that badly!

This guy!

CA Freepers, is Newsom a continuation of the malignant political hold that Jim Jones’ Peoples’ Temple has exercised over your suffering state?

Maybe he'll get Mark Leno to run as his Lt. Governor. Won't that be a pair for California?

That was the whispering when he did it.

‘Course Kim wasn’t bashful about bragging about her talents, either...

Well, at least it’s not gonna be a banal and boring campaign. Sex soaked soap opera is more like it...
