Interesting Newsweek article about Gavin Newsom, and his political aspirations beyond San Francisco City Hall. You can read the full article here.

I found it a pretty interesting history, as well as fair assessments of Gavin's strengths and weaknesses if he runs for statewide office, which seems to be in the cards. I'm pretty sure his act won't play in Peoria. I have a hard time believing it will play in California, outside of San Francisco.

I wasn't quite sure how to take the several references to San Francisco's well-known demographics. Comments like "well connected white, straight men are hard to find." I would say those kinds of comments are generalizing and stereotyping, if they weren't so damn true.
