Bill Clinton, Gavin Newsom to Visit L.A. City College

gavin-newsom-bill-clinton.jpg More details about former President Clinton's visit to Los Angeles in support of San Francisco Mayor and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gavin Newsom. The pair will visit Los Angeles City College on Monday, October 5th before heading off to a fundraiser for Newsom's campaign.

At LACC, they will tour the new LEED-certified Science and Technology Building and talk to faculty and students about education for green technology jobs, including those in solar installation, weatherization and more, according to a campaign news release. There's no word if they will talk about education budget cuts throughout the state.

Newsom is the only front runner Democrat running for Governor, but Attorney Jerry Brown said last week he would soon launch an exploratory committee for a gubernatorial campaign.

A new Rasmussen poll of California finds that of the two Democratic candidates for governor, Brown is currently much more electable than Newsom.

Brown leads all three Republicans.

Newsom trails all three Republicans.

Though the pollster's analysis suggests that this could change if Newsom were to actually win the nomination, given the state's Democratic leanings.

Brown (D) 45%, Poizner (R) 32%
Brown (D) 44%, Whitman (R) 35%
Brown (D) 44%, Campbell (R) 34%

Campbell (R) 42%, Newsom (D) 36%
Whitman (R) 41%, Newsom (D) 36%
Poizner (R) 40%, Newsom (D) 36%

Who gives a rats butt who the governor is if the DEM legislators can't get anything past the GOP?
