It was a long time in the making, but word is former President Bill Clinton will be in San Francisco for a final get-out-the-vote pep talk Monday for Democratic mayoral candidate Gavin Newsom.

The Clinton drop-by was pulled together by Walter Shorenstein, the Democratic fund-raising king. And while scoring Clinton took some work, the biggest headache for Newsom's camp was deciding where to hold the rally.

Well, that's it for Newsom. When you have to bring in the Clinton Funeral Service as your last hope, you know your campaign is at deaths' door.

SF is about to elect it first commie mayor. And a drunken commie at that. The inmates have finally taken over the asylum...

Could this mean a Greens win? Dems are scared of this. A more powerful Green Party would either force the Dems further left, or destroy the Democratic Party as their base abandons them for the far left Greens. Either way...dark days for the Democratic Party!

I was just thinking the same thing.

Why is Newsom doing this? Sheesh. Newsom is just barely a dem....maybe that's why?
