will be interesting to see what cox does. kennedy: there are a lot of democrats in the state. gavin newsom already won a statewide race. he is the lieutenant governor. he is incredibly well-known. he beat antonio villaraigosa who should have been a formidable opponent. antonio villaraigosa out-spent john cox and it didn t matter. he didn t even get half the votes that cox got. so, you know, is it just a foregone conclusion for newsom or does he actually have to run closer to the middle to get some of the counties that don t like his san francisco past or the support like the train to nowhere, the high-speed train that is not high-speed and it does not connect l.a. with san francisco? marie: california is a democratic state. the headwinds against someone like the republican candidate for governor are incredible strong. and just from numbers game, there are a lot of democrats these are liberal democrats in california. now what was interesting kennedy: in part of california. m
