Since I've taken the opportunity to point out some of the good things being done by mayors in other large cities, I should also be ready to share stories about the more questionable activities of those mayors. Not that I'm judging or anything (I'll leave that to commenters if you want), but it seems that San Francisco's Mayor Wunderkind, Gavin Newsom, about whom I've blogged before, is dating a girl half his age, the wonderfully named Brittanie Mountz. If you care to do the math, he's 39 (or possibly 40 by now). To the good people of San Francisco, the biggest problem with this relationship may be that she is a registered Republican. Newsom enjoys an 80 percent approval rating a year out from his re-election campaign.

Nope. In fact, I think that qualifies her to run for governor.
