we'll be fine. Hopefully that's not a big "if."

Problem is, with California voters, there is always an "IF" of varying sizes depending on the messaging and the mood. We are a weird bunch.

Not that this Californian intends to take anything for granted… but he should beat this and honestly, I like his chances.

I am PISSED OFF that my tax dollars as a CA resident are being used to fund this BS! It never stood a chance. The GQP is wasting our money in various states on their "poor loser tour" of clowns.

Leave Gavin Newsom alone.............he has done a lot for the state of California and consequently for our country..........sure some may disagree but the facts are the facts. Right wing haters are out to get all democrats that fight for their people. It has been a terrible year for all of us - Califorinia - don't give up a good man.

That her party is not exactly the most trans-friendly organization out there? I find certain people affiliating themselves with the QOP to be making extremely bizarre choices.

And the republicans will spin it like Newsom set all the fires and personally turned off the power.

The beast is VERY abused and damaged at the beginning of the movie.
We really don’t want an angry out of control beast as governor.

I hope that dinner at the French Laundry was good, because it cost us taxpayers dearly with this recall. His utter hypocrisy at the height of the pandemic closures was one of the stupidest political gaffs I've ever seen and it was soooooooo easy to avoid.
