Separated At Birth: Pat Riley

Pictured on the left is, Pat Riley, now 23-years older than San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom and widely regarded as one of the greatest NBA coaches of all time. Riley has served as the head coach of five championship teams and an assistant coach to another.

Of course, Newsom’s first term was won in 2003, so his best ball is on the horizon. Thus far, he’s grazed on necessary; yet, low-hanging political fruit like, Same-Sex Marriage, Greenery and Scenery not to mention attempting to add WiFi.

He’s also tried to tackle controversial social issues such as Community Court, Care-Not-Cash and Services or Citation as well as challenge America’s War On Drugs warehousing America.

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger will soon be stepping down from a bigger office far outside The City limits and considerably more conservative.

If Gavin hopes to fill it, he won't be unopposed. He’ll have to at least defeat Los Angeles Mayor, Antonio Villaraigosa.

And, what’s next for Matt Gonzalez and Attorney General and former Governor Jerry Brown Oval Office?

Newsom's Only Competition Is LA Mayor?

In a Newsweek Web Exclusive, Karen Breslau, writes:

Until now, Newsom, with approval ratings around 70 percent, had been considered a shoo-in for re-election in November. And despite controversy over his move three years ago to legalize gay marriage, Newsom, 39, was still considered one of the country’s hottest mayors and a rising star in the Democratic Party.

For now, Newsom has no credible opponent for his re-election bid, even though several city supervisors were reportedly licking their chops at the prospect of Newsom’s downfall. The bigger problem may come down the road, when Newsom is expected to square off against Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, another young Democratic star—for either the U.S. Senate seat held by Diane Feinstein, now 73, or for governor, when Arnold Schwarzenegger’s term expires in 2010.
