"Local superstar Gavin Newsom has assembled a crack team of political advisers including Eric Jaye. For metaphysical advice, though, Newsom will turn to Peninsula hypnotist Carol Simone. For those of you who haven't heard of Simone she prefers to go without her first name she's the psychic, spiritual healer, and intuitive consultant who reportedly gave Newsom advice about his internal life before she officiated at his recent Montana wedding. Comparisons have been made between Simone and Joan Quigley, the San Francisco astrologist who helped Nancy Reagan plan the timing of international summits. But Simone won't be giving secondhand advice to California's first executive: She'll transmit wisdom from the spirit world directly to Gov. Newsom's ear."

I really, really hope he doesn't get elected. And honestly, I think any half-decent Democrat could beat him in the primaries, and a a Republican who isn't braindead could probably beat him in the general election.
California, in general, is not nearly as nuts as San Francisco.
He reminds me a lot of Bill Clinton: popular, charismatic, politically savvy, etc. But you just know that as a person, he's a total weasel.
He banged the wife of his best friend and close adviser, and then spent a few weekends in an "alcohol abuse" treatment resort, as if that would somehow make up for it.
