Is it Me, or is Gavin Newsom kicking major ass?
He's getting a ton of media coverage, and taking it to Bush and the Pukes 24/7. Also love his "in your face" marriage licensing. It's driving the AM radio idiots CRAZY.

1. I heard a sound bite of him right after Bush's trance-like speech...
What a difference! Love to see him (or anyone) in an unscripted debate with the Moran-in-Chief.

2. Gavin's the man.
He takes it to Dubya and all other pro-amendment bigots.

4. I'm in love!
Gavin Newsome is my new hero! He is so articulate and passionate. I am so proud of him for challenging this whack-job administration and its minions. Look, they have been getting away with murder fro years, doing whatever they please to enact a wingnut agenda. It's about time we started fighting fire with fire!

5. Has great potential for the future..
smart, thinks quick on his feet, brave, makes cool mocking funny faces when his opponents are saying stupid things, good-lookin' to boot..

maybe we have a future senator? Or will he forever be known as the gay marriage mayor of San Fran?

Side note: is there any way to contact Mayor Newsom?

7. He's slicker than snail snot!
I live in the East Bay. First time I heard Newsom on the radio, well before the election, I figured he'd be running for governor and maybe for president in due time. However, he's not just a good campaigner/spokesman; he's also been impressive in the way he's taken the reins in San Francisco, shaking off the Willie Brown legacy of stylish do-nothing-ism and blatant patronage.

I was a Matt G. backer, but Gavin's doing all right on this subject and then some. :)

9. I've been enjoying him for several years on KFOG
Gavin was a frequent morning show guest on KFOG here in SF for several years while he was a supervisor. I always found him great to listen to, even when I didn't agree which was rare. He is very quick, has all his data lined up, and is passionate about what he believes in. I expected his political career to blossom and am very pleased that it has so soon and so nationally. He will be a significant asset to the Democratic Party.

10. Maybe we should put him up against Feinstein in '06
He would probably do a better job in the Senate than SHE has been.

11. He not only defies the right-wing nuts,
he also defies his own Irish Catholic traditions. If he gets ex-communicated for this, then it was for a noble reason.

Go Gavin!

12. If he gets excommunicated
He has my respect. That would be VERY impressive.

15. Some of my family members were ex-communicated
for marrying non-Catholics. It's not a big deal and they don't seem to care.
