Yes, I was thinking probably Antonio, or possibly Newsome or Linda Sanchez :-p
The latter, possibly. Good call.
Newsom wants to be Governor. The white liberals who run the Cal Dems are going to give it to him. That's what Villar really wants too. But Senator will be his consolation prize.
Maybe.
Would be interesting to get Kim Guifoyle - Newsom's ex wife, the one who left him for banging his campaign managers wife - to run for either State Attorney General or Senator as a Republican. She acts modern conservative on the Fox news channel. She was a Prosecutor in Los Angeles right out of law school before she became Gavin's hood ornament.
Be hard to beat: she's a real victim, she's a she, and she's Puerto Rican-Irish in addition to being um, attractive.
And I think she really did have a change of outlook after Newsom dragged her through the mud.
But don't look to the Cal Republican Party for any ideas like that. Maybe they'll dredge up Kashkari again so he try to transfix us with his Indian Swami I-Will-Hypnotize-You stare again.
Whudda Klown.
