who I consider the best Cali governor ever. However, Gavin is extremely bold politician, a true progressive who never ever compromises on his beliefs, he is very agressive with his vision and can easily bully any gop member. He was the best mayor SF ever known and I can’t wait to see him govern California with his raw rhetoric that we so desperately need right now to shut every conservative locally and nationwide.

I wonder if he's learned his lesson about "Like it or not...". You cant rub the opposition's faces in stuff that angers them, without sowing dischord among the other side. Gavin, like Nancy and Chuck, needs to refrain from gloating or gleefully stating how the cow is gonna eat the cabbage, when he gets done. He has to be the Govenor of ALL Californians and our ambassador to the Right. I think Brown strikes this tone very well. He's forcefull, no nonsense, and no drama. If all our politicians could maintain this type of demeanor, we would be MUCH farther along in the game. US Rep Adam Schiff does this very well also.
