An oportunity for Gov. Newsom

[winetourdriver01]

Biden's pick for V.P. means the Governor of California will be able to pick her replacement in the Senate. I'm going to go out on a limb here and predict that he will pick himself.

1. Nope

Won’t happen

2. Senator Adam Schiff sounds better to me.....

If not, Attorney General Adam Schiff sounds good too...

5. Adam Schiff would be a most excellent choice

But truth be told, California is front loaded with eminently qualified people.


Schiff's district is reasonably secure, so that's a plus.

I have reason to believe Kamala Harris would put the buzz in Gavin Newsom's ear that Katie Porter is totally up to the job and would deliver in spades. Unfortunately Porter's district would probably flip back.

I would be happy with Ted Leiu, but like I said, there is a boatload eminently qualified people to consider.

Hell, even Xavier Becerra, California's Attorney General, and former congressman, could kick ass, and his job would essentially be finished with the orange anus's departure.

It's going to be fun speculating what our governor will do.

3. Why would he do that ? Being governor of California is kind of like being President

of one of the top economies in the world.

4. It was rumored at the time that Newsom and Harris made a deal who

Would run for each office. They were both considering Senate seat

[Hekate]

6. Uh, no. Newsom has a State to run & we are in trouble like everywhere else.

I don't think he would ever be forgiven if he pulled a stunt like that.

7. Senator Jerry Brown!

He would make a good selection for filling the remaining 2 years of her seat.

Man I would love to see Jerry Brown on the Senate floor lecturing the Repukes.
