California Governor's race

My latest CQ Politics article on the California governor's race went online yesterday.

In a nutshell: Meg Whitman has major cred as a Silicon Valley CEO but her social networking (Twitter and Facebook) pales compared to Gavin Newsom; Newsom made a big splash with his Twitter announcement that he's running for governor but he has made some veiled comments about needing to make history instead of reliving seemingly aimed at former Gov. Jerry Brown, who is running again; there are some other Republicans who could give Whitman some competition; LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa probably will not be announcing that he's going to run via Twitter; if Feinstein gets in the race she becomes the heavy Democratic favorite.
