This Gavin Newsom Showing In SC

 I watched about 20 minutes of Gavin's visit to SC....to hype himself as a choice for 2028.

My three observations:

1.  First....most southern voters have never heard of the guy, and I would probably go and say that 50-percent of Dem-voters (southern-type)....see him as a used-car dealer type....thus not likely to vote for the guy.

2.  If you asked folks in SC....Dem's of course....is there any resume-builder for the guy....other than saying he's a governor?  Well....about half would respond they know he was in the catering business, but know little else to say about the guy.

3.  To be honest, if you cross off Mayor-Pete, Kam, AOC, Gov-Gavin....then the only real contender in SC is Gov Josh Shapiro of Penn.  If you were talking in Iowa....Shapiro is probably the top dog there as well.

I'm not saying this is a Shapiro is a clear winner....just that the first two states have a different view of things.

Some might say Newsom is a sleeze-bucket... a significant down-grade from the standard sleeze-bag.
Not me, of course, but some might...
.
Some might say they would calmly watch from a safe distance if his hair-gel caught fire.
Not me, of course, but some might...

Calvin Coolidge "Cal" Worthington, that California used-car guy from 1980s/1990s is who he reminds me of.
