Gavin Newsom suggests Jerry Brown lacks 'vision for greatness'
SacBee: Capitol Alert ^ | 2/1/12 | David Siders

Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom, who pops up from time to time to snipe at Gov. Jerry Brown, suggested today that his fellow Democrat lacks a "vision for greatness" and is "not necessarily the most collaborative executive," and he criticized social service cuts Brown has proposed.

"We've got a governor who is doing a very good job focusing on solvency," the former San Francisco mayor, who dropped out of the gubernatorial race in 2010, said on KQED Radio's Forum. "But what we need is a vision for greatness again."

Brown and Newsom have a distant relationship, . . .

Really!

I suppose Gavin is focused on insolvency.

Wow Gavin, ya think?

He’s only been in government 128 years or so, still time for his latent greatness to show itself.

And Newsom is not it. No way, not our vision for CA. Heck NO!!!! It’s already royal blue here. Waxman, Feinstein, Boxer and, dare I admit it, Pelosi (dark music plays).

I try to turn it purple (yes, red + blue, cute huh?). No luck yet. We need a republican campaign manager here to back a red man against Waxman in 2012 for District 33 (new, was 30 but the new lines changed it).

Help us o’ mighty elephant god (small ‘g’, so go easy)!

Republicans have visions, Democrats only have Delusions.

“A delusion is a belief held with absolute conviction despite superior evidence.[1] Unlike hallucinations, delusions are always pathological (the result of an illness or illness process).[1] As a pathology, it is distinct from a belief based on false or incomplete information, dogma, poor memory, illusion, or other effects of perception.

Delusions typically occur in the context of neurological or mental illness, although they are not tied to any particular disease and have been found to occur in the context of many pathological states (both physical and mental). However, they are of particular diagnostic importance in psychotic disorders including schizophrenia, paraphrenia, manic episodes of bipolar disorder, and psychotic depression.”

News article needs to be corrected
