Is Democratic San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom already putting together his team for that 2010 gubernatorial run?
The newlywed mayor and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, were spotted in Malibu Saturday, honeymooning deep in lengthy conservation over frappucinos -- with Democratic uber-political consultant Garry South.
We heard the whole story from blogger Zuma Dogg, who caught the scene on video and on camera, and posted it on his own LA Daily blog link at his website, zumatimes.com.
Little problem for the environmentally-hip SF mayor at the usually star-laden Starbucks, the blogger reports.
"His Yukon was parked in the fire lane," Zuma Dogg says of Newsom. "I told him if you're running for governor, you're off to a bad start."
The GMC Yukon -- uh, that's 12 mpg city/18 highway -- was moved immediately, he said.
But Zuma Dogg was also impressed with the New Mrs. Mayor, saying she was not just a pretty face at the table.
"'She's very vocal, very much part of the conversation -- not sitting there quiet," he said.
So why would the three be hanging together in the Southland? Maybe because South, the take-no-prisoners former senior consultant to Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, has some deep experience with running winning statewide campaigns in California.

Gavin “Any Twosome” Newsom sure knows how to honeymoon.
Elitist liberal ping!
Remind me again why this is good?
Well, Tony Villar shot himself in the foot, John Garamendi is a colorless old hack, and Diane Feinstein has too many important social events to attend to focus on the job. Many Democrats still nurture a fantasy that Gavin Newsom can become the next JFK, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see him run strongly in 2010.

The entire "homeless" population of San Francisco.
Good Luck Gavin.
Danielle Bologna, alone, will see to it that Newsom is never elected to a statewide or national office in his lifetime. That tragedy (illegal kills father, two boys) will be this clown’s Willie Horton the rest of his life.
We can only hope
