Spicing up governor race

Now that San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom looks like he'll run for governor in two years, at least we're going to have a race with some glam. Jim Boren in the Fresno Bee.

You'll recall that in the last gubernatorial election, the Democrats put up Phil Angelides as their candidate, and he turned out to be a real snoozer. Angelides is bright, likable and very boring.
