Newsom’s press team made this media training reel for their boss over the weekend.

Watch and learn what not to do media-wise.

It's a big long shadow to try to out run.

Told you so.

We wrote that the Fresh Prince of San Francisco would quit the Governor’s race by this fall Halloween.

People thought we were sniffing too much L’Oreal hair gel and that we were conspiracy theorists.

But we knew from the start that Gavin Newsom had no statewide political legs.

Plus, our sources were deep and proper. You wouldn’t believe how many of his former friends and supporters were willing to talk to us.

According to the San Francisco Chronicle, Gavin Newsom pulled out because of family.

Where have I heard that one before?

It’s all kind of bittersweet when you think about it.

Today, in celebration, all of us here at I Love You Gavin Newsom would like to dedicate this song to Gavin Newsom, whose decision to abandon his bid for governor has saved us from having to come up with at least seven more months of loving tributes.

I love you Gavin Newsom!

"This logo didn't poll well..."

By now you’ve read the news that Newsom for California decided to hold a contest to pick a new logo.

Wow, this is soooo exciting — I feel like I’m getting in on the ground floor of the most amazing grassroots campaign — ever!

Um, didn’t they already have a campaign logo?

Yeah, it’s that ugly one on the right with the lame font choice and horrible color combo.

I’m thinking this logo-picking public relations stunt thing might have been a good idea *before* Newsom started campaigning.

Now that implosion in full autumn bloom the timing couldn’t be worse, nor could the logos from which people had to choose.

Here is the “people’s choice” winner:

Here were their six “choices”:

I don’t like how this went down.

Not one bit. It’s not fair.

Maybe I’m just sore as hell because team Newsom didn’t go with my own very awesome and very creative and very original submission:

Newsom for Governor of Twitterfornia!

As Governor of Twitterfornia, Gavin Newsom will be limited to 140 character press releases and unfulfilled policy promises. Just like being mayor of San Francisco.
