CA-GOV: Brown Leads Newsom By 20 Points In Poll

A new poll showing a huge lead for former Governor Jerry Brown over San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom has California politicians buzzing.

With Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa declining to enter the California Governor's race it is now less than a year before the June 2010 primary election, the race seems to be pretty set. Dianne Feinstein is not expected to run, and the entry of Jack O'Connell or even Loretta Sanchez is unlikely to upend the Brown versus Newsom dynamic.
