S.F. Mayor Asks Dems to Avoid Attacks. BRAVO!

Sound advice in any city, state, and on the national level.

Hoping to head off a messy fight for the Democratic Party endorsement in the governor's race, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom on Friday asked candidates to avoid attacking each other.

In the opening speech at the state party's weekend convention, Newsom said, "Let's not make this convention a circular firing squad against one another.

"The worst thing we can do is limp out of this convention," Newsom said. "We will be doing the bidding of the Republican party."

It is a familiar message. Actor and longtime Democratic activist Warren Beatty told an audience in March that the real fight was not among Democrats but in trying to win back the governor's seat in November.
