As part of his campaign to win the Governor's job in 2010, San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom will make a stop tonight in Woodland Hills to hold what he's calling one of his "conversations about California's future," at Taft High School, according to the Daily News.

Will he or won't he? That seems to be the question of late when it comes to Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa's 2010 bid for California Governor. In an item run this weekend in the San Francisco Chronicle, the seeds of the no-go rumor were planted, watered, and sprouted: "Our sources in L.A. say Villaraigosa has come to the conclusion that the time is just not right for him to make a state run - given that he hasn't even been sworn in yet to a second term, and that he's facing bloody political fights at home."
